Suzanne Miyamoto's appreciation for healing and personal connection started while volunteering at a hospital in high school, and has been central to her life ever since. She has spent most of her career working in policy, and now leads the American Academy of Nursing, which endeavors to improve health equity by impacting policy through nursing leadership, innovation, and science. Join Miyamoto and host Jannah Amiel in this episode of Raise the Line to learn how nurses can be—and in Miyamoto's view, should be—front and center in the struggle to improve health equity. Tune in to soak up Miyamoto's valuable advice on forming partnerships, using good evidence, and seeking out opportunities outside of healthcare. Plus, learn about the need for better representation at the decision-making tables and the importance of educators encouraging and nurturing student ideas early and often.
