A new collaborative effort to build strong and resilient health systems

Building a sense of belonging by investing in student nurses of color
A diverse nursing workforce is a better nursing workforce—one that improves quality of care and patient outcomes for all populations. That’s why Johnson & Johnson has put its support behind two pilot programs aimed at setting nurses up for success on campus and in healthcare settings.
Diversifying the cardiovascular workforce
The statistics are stark: People of color are vastly underrepresented in medical and scientific professions. But various programs—including ones sponsored by Johnson & Johnson—are working to help level the playing field.
Supporting diversity programs at optometry schools
If people of color aren’t well represented in healthcare, then communities of color cannot receive truly equitable healthcare. These unique programs are supporting physicians from racial minority groups so they can better support the patients who need them.
We are closing the gap between communities and care by enabling access to our medicines and technologies, championing nurses and health workers and working together with community-based organizations.
