Highlights
- •Coalitions advance health equity using collaborative efforts across multisector groups at community, state, and national levels.
- •Delving into the interworking of coalitions provides valuable insight about coordinating intersectional activities, addressing challenges, and creating effective strategies to promote change.
- •Interwoven in real-world coalition work are critical roles nurses must assume in order to create solutions for the health inequities that exist in society.
- •Nurses have opportunities to lead initiatives and collaborate with other organizations to address the needs of communities, partner with coalitions for health equity and community engaged research, and advance health equity dialogue in policy arenas.
