How Renown Pioneers Nursing Innovation
We believe that the strength of our healthcare system lies in the hands of our dedicated nurses , and we are proud to say that more than 2,000 nurses have made Renown Health their professional home .
Most recently , Renown nursing leaders introduced two initiatives that reflect our unwavering commitment to supporting the professional growth and well-being of our nurses .
The Gerald " Jerry " Smith Academic-Practice Partnership
In May 2023 , Renown partnered with the University of Nevada , Reno Orvis School of Nursing to launch a transformative academic partnership . This initiative aims to provide nursing students with tuition support , ensuring a sustainable and skilled nursing workforce in northern Nevada for years to come .
The Gerald “ Jerry ” Smith Academic-Practice Partnership , established through generous donations from visionary donors to Renown Health Foundation , will support up to 24 students annually with tuition support , books and nursing fees along with a guaranteed nursing career at Renown Health upon graduation and licensure .
Virtual Renown Nurses Support Patient Care From Afar
This year , Renown introduced an innovative virtual nurse program through the Renown Transfer and Operations Center . Patients interact with Renown nurses via real-time video calls , ensuring timely and comprehensive support . For instance , a virtual nurse can review medications and instructions , reducing wait times and expediting the process .
Ultimately , this program gives on-site nurses more flexibility to address immediate needs and allows patients more time with a nurse who can answer questions . Providing care is a team effort , and this solution supports Renown ' s people-first mission of caring for employees and patients .
