The Center for Global and Community Nursing

Welcome to the Center for Global and Community Nursing (CGCN)! In the contemporary world, human health and wellbeing are no longer confined to local boundaries—they are profoundly affected by and intertwined with a multitude of global changes and issues. Global engagement in healthcare professions including nursing has become an absolute mandate. Lessons learned from global engagement and community activities can be mutually beneficial.
