@sydnee_gonzalez I think I found your driver license outside the Capitol yesterday. Let me know and I can arrange to get it back to you.

Poor provider capacity yields poor #MaternalHealth outcomes. Do we need to shift the paradigm of focusing on solely on expanding access? Quality care saves lives. This blog I authored with @Chemonics SVP Julie Becker explains #IDM2020 https://t.co/MaH4ZO9aYX

I took this photo of a clinic in South Sudan in 2011 and turned it up while looking for a photo of a remote clinic to use for a blog I wrote for International Day of the Midwife today. It’s a great example of how… https://t.co/q2sBERspLj

#ThePowerofNurses x25. Worth getting up at 5am for. Great job, @NursingNow2020. Leaving excited to keep pushing the boundaries of what #nurses can achieve and with a clearer vision of how to do this to transform global health outcomes #WD2019 @HRH2030Program

@RoopaDhatt @NursingNow2020 @itwitmoNATHAN @womeninGH I couldn’t agree more, and I think you and @itwitmoNATHAN provided fantastic perspective. So important for nursing to have diverse allies within and beyond the profession. Wish a little more context had been given on the panel construction, but happy to have you!

[Emma Virginia Clark @evc7]

So glad @NursingNow2020 brought a man & a doctor to explain a report focused on gender-related barriers to nurse-leadership. Don’t think I could have understood it otherwise. I’m just a #nurse after all. @RoopaDhatt and @itwitmoNATHAN are 👍but this just reinforced perceptions.

“Be at the table, or you will be on the menu.”- @_dinotshe on nurse leadership. Also, “There is no glass ceiling. It’s just a bunch of men’s bodies that need to be moved.” The
@NursingNow2020 co-chair was on fire this morning. #WD2019 #ThePowerofNurses

[Samantha Law Wilde @SamanthaMLaw]

Loved hearing about the #PowerofNurses this morning with an awesome panel elevating the issues of nurses in leadership, but ultimately isn’t this about female nurses in leadership? Where were they today? @NursingNow2020 @JNJGlobalHealth @IntraHealth #WD2019

[Emma Virginia Clark @evc7]

Women provide 70% of healthcare globally but only hold 25% of health system leadership roles. New @NursingNow2020 report lays out what it will take to get female #nurses into decision-making roles for sustainable delivery of #HealthForAll. https://t.co/aqTelcCCzU #wd2019

[Emma Virginia Clark @evc7]

Can’t wait, @FrankaCadee. It’s so important to create space for @ThePowerOf hard but honest conversations. #WD2019

[Emma Virginia Clark @evc7]

Loved @COREGroupDC’s panel of powerhouse women at #WD2019 this AM. But what could we have accomplished if we started listening to women already so they can spend their time actioning their great ideas instead of advocating to be heard?#GenderInequality holds the whole world back.

[Emma Virginia Clark @evc7]

Blown away by Aboriginal Liaison Nurse Monique Pat’s account of fighting racism in Canadian healthcare. An example of how frontline #HealthWorkers are also at frontlines of critical social change driving all kinds of #Equality. @COREGroupDC #WD2019 #HealthWorkersCount #ThePowerOf

[Emma Virginia Clark @evc7]

.@NursingNow2020’s @bathebrit: female #HealthWorkers need enabling enviros, decision making authority, & BUDGETS. But “it’s men in charge of the budget & they don’t know & don’t care who’s working at frontline.” Why systemic change is a MUST for equality. #WD2019 @HRH2030Program

[Emma Virginia Clark @evc7]

.@COREGroupDC leading a convo on elevating #FrontlineHealthWorkers voices. Want #GenderEquality & better health outcomes? It’s clear: we MUST start paying #CommunityHealthWorkers for their essential & difficult work. Lots of chatter on this at #WD2019. Now to put it in action...
