Program partners
The CFPA is made possible with help from our program partners. Learn more about their missions and how to contact them.
The Pennsylvania Nursing Workforce Coalition (PA-NWC) is a program of the National Nurse-Led Care Consortium, an affiliate of Public Health Management Corporation. Formerly known as the Pennsylvania Action Coalition, the PA-NWC was established in 2011 to strengthen the nursing workforce and build a culture of health in Pennsylvania.
- As a statewide collaborative, the PA-NWC aims to achieve its goals by fostering relationships across sectors- including academia, government, healthcare, and both non-profit and for-profit organizations. Its mission is to advance a nursing workforce that will lead healthcare transformation by cultivating strategic partnerships with diverse populations and organizations. The-PA-NWC envisions a healthy Pennsylvania through equitable, high quality, and safe nursing.
The PA-NWC serves as a strong partner of Geisinger with expertise in building strategic partnerships, professional workforce development and implementing communications campaigns. The PA-NWC leveraged their network to build the membership of the CFPA Advisory Board. Through Geisinger’s partnership with the PA-NWC, the CFPA Advisory Board disseminates the CFPA curriculum, using established relationships to regional nursing programs and healthcare organizations across Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. They are also bringing the grants’ financial incentive funding to medical institutions allowing for increased usage of the program in HHS Region 3 during the grant period.
The National Nurse-Led Care Consortium (NNCC) is a nonprofit public health organization working to strengthen community health through quality, compassionate, and collaborative nurse-led care. NNCC is an affiliate of Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC). Its mission is to advance nurse-led healthcare through policy, consultation, and programs to reduce health disparities and meet people’s primary care and wellness needs.
