AONL Prism Award

 

The Prism Award recognizes an organization who is a leader in advancing diversity and inclusion efforts within the nursing profession, health care organization or community. AONL recognizes diversity as the ability to hold multiple perspectives without judgement based on age, spirituality, cognitive/physical ability, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status. This perspective supports and advances AONL Guiding Principles for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.

AONL developed the AONL Guiding Principles for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging to guide nurse leaders in advocating for resources to implement and support a diversity and inclusion program, encouraging a commitment to education and leading diversity research initiatives based on performance improvement outcomes.

The Prism Award winning-organization will receive a $5,000 donation to support its diversity and inclusion initiative.
