What’s One Healthcare Issue You’d Love to See Your Community Tackle Next?
Dear Nursing Community,
Every community has different healthcare needs. For some, the biggest concern may be access to care. For others, it could be health education, preventive services, mental health resources, support for older adults, or helping families navigate the healthcare system.
The people who live and work in a community often have valuable insight into the challenges that matter most.
At America Needs Nurses, we want to hear directly from nurses, healthcare professionals, patients, families, and community members about the issues they believe deserve greater attention.
We'd Love to Hear From You:

What issue would you put at the top of the community conversation?
Why We're Asking
Improving community health starts with understanding the challenges people experience firsthand.
Healthcare professionals often see these challenges from multiple perspectives—from patient care and family interactions to workplace experiences and community outreach.
We'd love to know:
What healthcare challenge affects your community most?
What issue deserves more attention or discussion?
What resources would make the biggest difference?
How can healthcare professionals and community organizations work together?
What practical change would you like to see happen next?
Sharing different perspectives can help highlight the range of healthcare priorities communities are working to address.
Building Healthier Communities Together
At America Needs Nurses, we're building a community where nurses and healthcare professionals can share their experiences, ideas, and perspectives.
Community health isn't shaped by healthcare organizations alone. Local schools, community groups, families, employers, nonprofits, healthcare professionals, and residents can all play a role in identifying needs and developing practical solutions.
The first step can be as simple as asking a question and listening to the answers.
When communities understand the challenges people face, they can have more informed conversations about resources, partnerships, education, and opportunities for improvement.
Together, we can create space for healthcare professionals and community members to share what matters most to them.
