"As we've all had this period of disruption, it's given us an opportunity to think about how best to work with people with serious illness or chronic diseases, but also how we keep people healthy in their homes. That has led us to focus on building the skills of the next generation of researchers in nursing and health science—but also to be ever better at the work that we do with patients and families."
