Getting help when you're ill can be scary and stressful - but a caring face can make all the difference. We know that healthcare outcomes improve when patients have nurses who speak their language, understand their culture, and look like them. Educating healthcare providers who better reflect and serve our community is at the heart of Labouré's mission.
When students graduate, they stay to deliver care here in their own communities. Their communities gain diverse providers grounded in our tradition of care and compassion, and our students' lives are transformed - not just by a fulfilling career, but by a salary that supports their families.
