Candia Laughlin photo "Excellence in ambulatory care nursing is essential to the continuum of high quality, cost-effective health care. Ambulatory care nurses share responsibility with patients, families and other health care team members in all aspects of health care. We value education which enables patients and families to understand and make informed decisions. We advocate for patients in the health care system, to best address their needs and optimize their outcomes while managing with limited resources. We strive to advance the art and the science of professional nursing in ambulatory care."
