Our Executive Director, Dr. Jimmy Reyes, has penned a powerful piece for the Iowa City Press-Citizen on a critical issue in healthcare: the urgent need to recruit and elevate minority nurses into leadership roles. 🌟
📊 Despite representing over 19% of the U.S. population, minority nurses make up less than 10% of Iowa’s nursing workforce. This disparity is especially concerning as our state’s population continues to diversify.
Dr. Reyes emphasizes that addressing this gap isn’t just about filling vacancies; it’s about ensuring culturally competent care for all and building a healthcare system that truly reflects the communities we serve. 🏥💪
