Our nurses are integral members of inter-professional teams in our hospitals and clinics that are dedicated to outstanding patient care. They are active in professional governance, providing them a voice to make decisions that affect their work. Emory nurses are eager to share what they learn not just with our healthcare system and other Atlanta hospitals, but with healthcare systems and hospitals on a national and international scale. 

Emory Healthcare continues to lead the world in evidence-based practices, utilizing cutting-edge technology to take us to the next level. As a result, many of our patients travel from great distances to get their care at Emory, and are able to receive treatments years before they are available to the general public.
