The Institute for Policy Solutions

We eliminate health inequities.

Eliminating health inequities is the most promising and sustainable solution to fix our broken health system — and to deliver optimal health for everyone. The Institute for Policy Solutions (IPS) exists to meet this challenge by drawing on the wisdom, expertise, and leadership of nurses.  We provide evidence-based policy and programmatic solutions, cutting edge research, impactful health workforce trainings, and actionable thought leadership. We forge innovative strategic partnerships. We assemble convenings that build bridges and shape opinions. We engage, influence, and mobilize audiences through our outreach. Everything we do is to elevate our nation’s health. Please join us.
