TheNational League for Nursing (NLN) and Johnson & Johnson (J&J) established a partnership in 2021 to address current and looming health care challenges. The growing shortage of nurses exacerbates the steadily increasing complexity of the health care system, made worse by the devastating and unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic (Lagasse, 2021). Moreover, the pandemic has highlighted the systemic inequities that people of color experience in the United States and thus their poorer health outcomes. The NLN-J&J partnership brings a yearlong, multifaceted program in leadership development to six historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) that offer four-year baccalaureate degrees in nursing. Enhancing support for HBCU schools of nursing to produce diverse nurse leaders is vital to addressing inequities and achieving health equity for our nation.
