Description
The goal of the Indiana NEEDS Initiative is to improve health equity and build a culture of health by increasing diversity and inclusion in the Indiana nursing workforce.
The initiative focuses on measures to expand under-represented cultural groups across multiple dimensions including race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, gender, life experiences, education, sexual orientation/gender preference, and other personal characteristics.
In addition to the toolkits, the IN NEEDS Initiative continues its work and has formed committees to provide healthcare organizations with information on Nursing Salons, English as a Second Language (ESL), and Social Determinants of Health (SDOH).
