As you explore this edition, we hope you can experience the energy, enthusiasm and optimism emanating from our teams. Dr. Heath is in her second year as the dean of the College of Nursing and has brought so much energy and passion to the faculty and students—the excitement is palpable. This mood translates to our nursing staff, many of whom are pursuing baccalaureate and graduate degrees at the College of Nursing. By the time you read this, we will have celebrated one of our major achievements—being designated once again as a Magnet system. It has been a long and sometimes difficult journey, but the benefits for our clinical, patient and staff experience outcomes and practice model maturation have been worth the navigation of our pathway. The interdisciplinary teams of practicing professionals and learners at UK HealthCare are so special. Our nursing practice is vibrant and resonates across the health system.
