Advancing nursing research.

Our fifth annual Nursing Research Conference took place on March 1, 2023, in downtown Los Angeles at The Center for Healthy Communities. The event, which drew about 70 nurses from Huntington and other Magnet® hospitals in Southern California, was held in person for the first time in two years. The event was made possible thanks to philanthropic funding from The Francis Bacon Foundation, which supports nursing research projects and quality improvement studies to test and validate new strategies in patient care.

Every year, the conference offers an unmatched opportunity to share information about nurse-led research and to exchange information about innovations in care. Nurses who have conducted research presented their studies at the event and participants could also meet the authors of poster presentations to discuss their projects about improving quality and nursing research. Planning for next year’s conference is already underway, which is scheduled to take place on March 13, 2024.
