Message from Lynda Benton, Senior Director, Corporate Equity, Johnson & Johnson

Nurses are innovators, lifesavers and fierce patient advocates. Where would the world be without them?

It’s a simple yet powerful question, and one that aligns to why Johnson & Johnson has proudly championed and supported the nursing profession for 125 years.

The work of nurses is critical in the nation’s ability to provide safe, quality, and equitable patient outcomes, and without enough nurses, the foundation of our health system is at risk. Today, the nursing profession is in crisis with accelerated, alarming levels of burnout, turnover, and vacancy rates.  A healthcare system without enough nurses is a healthcare crisis for us all.

Our commitment is to recognize, celebrate, support, and acknowledge the irreplaceable value and impact that nurses bring to healthcare, every day. And through advocacy, scholarships, clinical and leadership education, mental health resources, and more, Johnson & Johnson has proudly supported the nursing profession for more than a century and continues to do so today.

We’re excited to share with you a new media campaign launching this December in celebration of the nursing profession and their impact on healthcare. We invite you to join us and help share these assets! 

Starting December 1, view and share these new :30 and :15 nursing videos and GIF on your social channels, and watch the Heroes Among Us segments on the TODAY show, sponsored by Johnson & Johnson, featuring inspiring nurse innovators helping to improve patient care. A new segment is coming soon.

As this year ends, I also invite you to check out these programs in support of nurses:

• Listen to the latest episodes of the SEE YOU NOW podcast, where nurse leaders share how they are innovating to support and protect nurses, while fostering joy, well-being and clinical excellence.
• Get inspired by the first-ever NurseHack4Health Pitch-A-Thon awardees – the innovative, nurse-led health system teams that received grant funding to bring their workplace wellness ideas to life.
• Learn more about the AMN Healthcare Chief Nursing Officer Academy, a premier educational program sponsored by Johnson & Johnson convening dozens of nurses from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds to support and develop their skill sets as future nurse leaders.
• Starting early next year, sign up for The Sigma Nurse Empowerment Program, a leadership development program designed for nurses to enhance their skills in communication, collaboration, conflict resolution, self-advocacy, and resilience.
• Help inspire the next generation of nurses by sharing The Future of Nursing is Me, a video series spotlighting diverse nursing students sharing what motivated them to become a nurse.

For healthcare to work, it takes nurses.
