This Women’s History Month, we celebrate the women who have shaped history — and the women who are shaping healthcare every single day.

Nurses have long been leaders, advocates, innovators, and changemakers. From advancing science and policy to improving patient outcomes and strengthening communities, women in nursing continue to drive meaningful progress across the profession.

Their impact is not limited to history books. It is seen in hospitals, classrooms, boardrooms, research labs, and legislative chambers across the country.

Today, we honor their leadership, resilience, and unwavering commitment to advancing healthcare for all.

A powerful close to an unforgettable Summit.

The Opportunity & Impact in Nursing Summit ended on a high note as CEO Angela Beddoe presented Governor Wes Moore of Maryland with the inaugural Health Equity Legacy Award from the American Nurses Foundation.

Governor Moore energized the room with his commitment to nurses and to investing in better healthcare outcomes for all, sharing:

“If we get this right, and we understand that health is the pathway to everything that we hope for as a society, we are going to build a society that those who came before us hoped for, and we will build a society that those who come after us deserve.”

Attendees earned ANCC CNE credits through sessions designed to challenge assumptions and spark new ways of thinking.

The Summit closed with H.O.P.E., as Rear Admiral Jennifer Moon, Chief Nursing Officer and Assistant Surgeon General, introduced a leadership framework grounded in connection, access, and purpose—equipping nurses to lead with intention, resilience, and hope.

We are energized, optimistic and ready to be the change.
