Seth Kahan on Grand Challenges

Former CEO of the American Nurses Association, Marla Weston led the Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation Grand Challenge to improve nurses' health and impact patient outcomes. The initiative engaged diverse stakeholders and overcame challenges, but Weston emphasizes defining the problem, allowing flexibility, and meeting people where they are. The pandemic amplified the issues, underscoring the Grand Challenge's importance. Weston would have moved faster, but the lasting impact was raising awareness and driving systemic change around nurses' health, invaluable during the pandemic.
