Nurses On Boards Coalition
Improving the Health of Communities and the Nation
Nurses on Boards Coalition (NOBC) Leading the Change for Healthier Communities
What is NOBC?
Nurses on Boards Coalition (NOBC) represents national and state efforts by nurses and others working to build healthier communities in America.
Our mission is to improve the health of communities and the nation through the service of nurses on boards and other bodies. NOBC is committed to increasing nurses’ presence and influence on boards, panels, and commissions. Having achieved the key strategy of placing 10,000 nurses on boards, NOBC can now measure nurses’ impact on boards and raise broader awareness that all boards would benefit from the unique perspective of nurses to achieve the goals of improved health and efficient and effective health care systems at the local, state, and national levels.
Why was NOBC initiated?
NOBC is a direct response to the landmark Institute of Medicine Report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2011), which recommended increasing the number of nurse leaders in pivotal decision-making roles on boards and commissions working to improve the health of everyone in America.
