Capital Area Community Nursing Network
Committee Sponsor - Lansing Community College
Committee Chairperson - Margie Clark, RN
The Committee serves as a resource and advises the Alliance’s Board of Directors on topics related to nursing and nursing care and serves as a resource in identifying area challenges and issues facing nursing. CACNN collaborates as a group in identifying solutions for these issues through community based initiatives. The committee provides a unique perspective on current nursing topics such as clinical nursing education, scope of practice issues, and workforce shortages.
The Committee membership reflects the community and includes representatives from local health systems, the Schools of Nursing and other nursing professionals throughout the Capital Area as well as workforce representatives. CACNN is committed to the mission of the Capital Area Health Alliance to work together as nurses to empower our community to achieve better health.
