Our vision story

For many, healthcare isn’t working.

Skilled professionals on the front line of care today are responsible for more complex care than ever before. Long hours, concerns over patient safety, and a lack of autonomy are forcing healthcare professionals to leave the workplace in droves. Serious shortages are driving an unprecedented global demand for skilled, compassionate, and capable health professionals.

Meanwhile, the future of healthcare holds great promise. Scientific breakthroughs and new technologies are constantly emerging, but they are outpacing and overwhelming clinicians’ ability to care for patients. New discoveries demand new skills and new care models that offer authentic connection, care, and coordination across settings as well as exciting technological advancements.

CGFNS envisions disruptive healthcare transformation in every corner of the health ecosystem. We intend to help lead the way in presenting new and innovative approaches that activate the full potential of nurses and allied health professionals. Our central objective is to advance their capabilities and their opportunities for mobility so they can deliver the highest quality care wherever and whenever they are needed. It is their compassion and their skills that will make the difference in caring for and healing people around the world during their most critical moments and difficult journeys.

At CGFNS, we believe there’s never been a greater opportunity to make a difference and have an impact on the lives of patients and providers. We aim to help lead this transformation by driving professional advancement; helping nurses and other health professionals thrive and expand their opportunities by validating their training and skills; and creating standards and gateways that help them navigate global health systems with ease, heal and work at the top of their expertise, and contribute to high standards for global healthcare systems.

The future of healthcare will be determined by patients seeking a better and more meaningful care experience, by health systems that can provide the best care, and by providers with the ability to optimize their opportunities and their skills. Supporting clinical teams whose knowledge, expertise, and empathy are driven by standards of excellence, CGFNS is uniquely equipped to assist in shaping a dynamic, capable, and compassionate global health system.

This is the heart of healthcare transformation.
