Both before and during the pandemic, information has been vital—to identify best practices for taking care of patients, pinpoint resource needs, predict and plan, and stay nimble during constant change.

These stories are just a small snapshot of the many ways in which nurses are innovating and leading to improve care delivery in communities. Johnson & Johnson is committed to advocating for, elevating and empowering nurses as they transform healthcare and change human health for the better.

The role of the nurse has evolved greatly over the past century, but nurses’ innovative and compassionate spirit has remained a constant.
