Addressing “upstream” social determinants of health. Accumulating evidence highlights the individual and collective contributions of education, labor, criminal justice, transportation, economics, and social welfare to health. Policies in those domains are increasingly understood to be health policies. (Adler et al., 2016, para 10).

The Academy's Future: Diversity
“…As leaders in advancing health policy to promote health for all populations, the Academy is committed to modeling diversity, inclusivity and equity in all aspects of our organization's performance. To accomplish this effectively, the Academy must foster diversity among the fellowship, and promote inclusivity in our efforts. Inclusivity refers to the active engagement of all voices within an organization's membership, leadership, policy-setting and decision-making units, and overall profile. The Academy defines diversity as “all the ways in which people differ, including innate characteristics (such as age, race, gender, national origin, mental or physical abilities, gender identity and sexual orientation) and acquired characteristics (such as education, socioeconomic status, religion, work experience, area of practice, language skills, cultural values, geographic location, family status, organizational level, work style, philosophical and intellectual perspectives, etc).”
Achieving both diversity and inclusivity requires that the Academy:
- (1)have a fellowship and leaders who reflect the increasingly diverse society we serve and the broad scope of contributions of leaders across nursing;
- (2)offer sufficient opportunities for engaging all fellows in the work of the Academy; and
- (3)develop and align policies and practices to achieve these goals. (American Academy of Nursing 2016).
