Nurses work in every sector of care and at all stages of people’s lives. They understand the many factors that contribute to individual and collective health, and they know what system changes are needed to address the social and environmental determinants that impact health. 

But they can’t push for this change alone. 

Tangible support – from the government and other decision-makers – comes in the form of funding to support programs and human resources; as well as the necessary legislative frameworks. RNAO’s advocacy at the macro level aims to advance both – funding and legislation – to secure impactful change.
