Donor Spotlight: AvaSure

AvaSure® is proud to collaborate with the AONL foundation as a corporate donor, pledging over $1 million over 10 years to support the future of nursing leadership. As a nurse-led organization, AvaSure is deeply aligned with AONL’s commitment to advancing leadership excellence in nursing. Here, AvaSure’s Chief Clinical Officer Lisbeth Votruba, MSN, RN, FAONL, CAVRN, shares why this investment matters now more than ever. 

Why We Support Nurse Leaders 

No one understands patient care more deeply than nurses - the workflows, the risks, and the human connection are at the heart of every interaction. Their experience gives them a unique perspective on what must change in health care, and the leadership to drive that transformation.

At AvaSure, our mission is simple: We boldly reimagine care delivery to ensure safe, patient-centered, and compassionate care is accessible to all. With over 15% of our workforce being nurses, their hands-on insight is embedded into everything we create. This nurse-led approach is what sets us apart from others in the industry - we don’t just build technology for nurses, we build it with them. This ensures our technology delivers measurable value where it matters most: at the bedside.

This work is personal to me. I’m a third-generation nurse, and my journey in virtual care began as a patient sitter at UCSF. I never could have imagined that experience would help shape one of the most impactful virtual care models in health care today.

Across my 20+ years as an ICU nurse, clinical nurse specialist, and Magnet® program director, I have witnessed firsthand how empowering nurses with the right tools and support can transform outcomes for patients, families, and the workforce. It is a privilege to serve in the C-suite of a health care technology company where that belief is core to our identity and our innovation.

Investing in Nurses as Leaders of the Future 

Nurses today are navigating an incredibly complex environment - rising patient acuity, persistent staffing shortages and increasing administrative burden. They are expected to do more than ever before, yet often without the tools or support that truly enable them to thrive. It’s clear that traditional care models are no longer sustainable.

To secure the future of our profession, we must redesign how care is delivered - and that work must be led by nurses.

AvaSure is deeply committed to empowering nurse leaders to drive this transformation, and our investments reflect that belief:

• A $1 million pledge to the AONL Foundation over a decade to strengthen nurse leadership pipelines
• Active involvement in AONL’s Leadership, Innovation, and Technology Transformation Committee – defining the role of nurse leaders in digital transformation
• Serving on the AONL Corporate Advisory Council - uniting industry leaders to advance nursing leadership and build a healthier future
• Sponsoring the AONL Foundation Leadership Symposium: Virtual Care Nursing: From Readiness to Results – register here
• Strategic investment in nurse-led companies and innovators such as Nurse Disrupted
• A workforce made up of 15% nurses - shaping product strategy, implementation and customer success from day one

At its core, our partnership with AONL is about ensuring every nurse leader has the knowledge, confidence and influence to redesign care - not just respond to its challenges.
