Strategic Plan 2021-24
It was the work of Loretta Ford, founding dean of the School of Nursing, which brought together nursing services in the University of Rochester Medical Center with nursing education and research, and became a national model for other nursing schools.
This Unification Model is not only a philosophical approach but an organizational structure that operationalizes the interdependence among education, research, and practice, forging a critical link between scientific discovery and improved health care outcomes.
Today, the School of Nursing’s missions of education, research, and practice are realized through a lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
