HELD VIRTUALLY VIA ZOOM

For 30 years, the Institute for Spirituality and Health’s Annual Nursing Conference has been at the forefront of the exploration of the intersection of the nursing profession, spirituality, health, and healing.
Healthcare and nursing practice are always evolving. The pandemic, along with the ongoing advances in technology, have sped up the process of change. These forces, and the increasing limitations on time, have posed new challenges for nurses who seek to provide the personal, spiritual, and compassionate care that lies at the heart of the nursing profession. At the same time, the changing times have also brought new and innovative modes of care. Celebrating the 30th year of the Annual Nursing Conference, we look to bring the best of past and present together to envision and create a bright future for patients and nurses alike.
