Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing

At the Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing, we prepare graduates – from different communities and with different experiences – to tackle tomorrow’s health challenges today. Our graduates lead in hospitals, public health systems, businesses, schools and universities. Our faculty generate knowledge that improves the human condition and the health of the planet on which all our lives depend. And we provide primary care to people who face inequitable access to healthcare – one individual at a time. Everything we do is with humanity in mind.

Our school has the power and determination to amplify the impact of nursing on human health. We believe in the power of humanity to do good, and our every action reveals how powerfully we believe it.

Thanks to your support, we are improving health outcomes for all through research, education and clinical practice.

Funding Priorities

GIVE TO THE STUDENT SUPPORT FUND TO CREATE MORE NURSING LEADERS – FOR THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY

In all our programs, we emphasize the opportunities and necessity for nurses to pursue careers focused on creating a healthier and more just society. The Student Support Fund bolsters our strategic priorities of increasing the numbers of our graduates, deepening our efforts in student success, and reducing the financial burdens that our students face.

GIVE TO THE FACULTY PRACTICE FUND TO PROVIDE CLINICAL CARE – ONE HUMAN AT A TIME

Our nurse practitioner faculty provide primary care for Orange County’s most vulnerable populations. We do this in the context of an academic health center that is part of our research-intensive campus. Over the next five years, we are committed to expanding our faculty practice to address issues of access to healthcare. We are committed, through our actions, to sending a positive message that change is necessary and achievable through the advanced care that family nurse practitioners provide.
