Why are we

Shift[ing] Forward?

Our mission at Trusted is to help people everywhere get care. Rooted in that mission are the enduring principles of community, compassion, fairness, justice, and love.

Racism and bias in the United States and specifically in the healthcare industry are pervasive, damaging, and fly in the face of that mission. And while we collectively have a long way to go to correct these injustices, we are committed to doing the work.

One of the first steps we are taking to educate our company and the nursing community is to partner with organizations like the CCBNA to listen, learn, and amplify. We will endeavor to continue to use our platform to magnify the voices of leaders and nurses in the Black community.

Donation

While all events are free to attend, we ask that you donate to our partner, the CCBNA, to help create sustainable programs that improve allocation of opportunities for nurses, nursing students, and future generations of nurses through scholarship, accountability, and health equity. Donate by selecting "Trusted Health" in the dropdown.
