August 31, 2011 The Wyoming Community Foundation has been chosen as one of 11 foundations nationally to receive funding from Partners Investing in Nursing's Future.

Led by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the Northwest Health Foundation, Partners Investing in Nursing's Future supports the capacity, involvement and leadership of local foundations to advance the nursing profession in their own communities.

The Wyoming Center for Nursing and Health Care Partnerships (WCNHCP) has forged local partnerships with a number of business, hospital and public health groups in an effort to create solutions for tackling nursing workforce issues specific to community needs.

The project's goals are closely aligned with the recommendations of a recent Institute of Medicine (IOM) report that seeks to prepare the nursing workforce to meet the needs of America's health care system and its patients and ensure an adequate supply of nurses for a growing, aging population.
