As part of Johnson & Johnson ’ s Our Race to Health Equity initiative , over $ 773,000 in scholarships were funded through the Foundation of the National Student Nurses Association . We were proud to provide scholarships to 312 Black , Indigenous and People of Color ( BIPOC ) students since inception . These students will play a key role in creating a world where health equity is a pillar of our society and our healthcare system . The scholarships are one part of a multi-pronged strategy to ensure access to high-quality and culturally competent health care for all .
2020 showed us , more than ever before , that having well-trained and well-supported nurses is key to the health of our society . However , in a country with significant racial health inequities — the need for well-equipped nurses is especially heightened in communities of color .
One way that Johnson & Johnson is working to eliminate health inequities for people of color is by investing in creating a diverse healthcare professional pipeline , including increasing BIPOC representation among nurses .
