ABOUT NURSING DETROIT

Empowering Communities Through

Representation and Education

The bottom line is this: research confirms that when patients see themselves reflected in their caregivers, patient outcomes improve. With over 30 years of bed-side experience in Detroit hospitals, our team has witnessed first-hand the deeply-rooted disparities in healthcare.

That’s why we’re not just focused on filling gaps in the workforce- we’re committed to transforming and saving lives.


We envision a healthier Michigan, revived through the spirit of nursing education and support. Through our training, mentorship and talent development initiatives, we have built caring partnerships with local nursing communities to promote health equity, reduce health disparities, and build the next generation of caregivers.
