Mission

The mission of the Yale School of Nursing is to help achieve better health for all people. We work toward this by educating each generation of nurse leaders, scholars, and practitioners; transforming health care practice; and advancing science. From our founding dean Annie W. Goodrich’s exhortation to integrate thought and action, to today’s recognition of such twenty-first-century challenges as climate change and structural racism, the YSN community addresses health across local, national, and international systems of care and communities.
