Women and Children Health Initiative
The UAB School of Nursing's Women and Children Health Initiative (WACHI) is leading the effort to assure a future where women and children in Alabama are not only healthy but are thriving and achieving their highest potential. We are collaborating with community partners to improve the quality and accessibility of health care for women and children in every corner of the state to improve the health, safety and wellbeing across their lifespan. As part of this we also are working to build a highly educated and well-resourced nursing workforce to address challenges in both the short-term and long-term to create solutions for a sustained healthcare workforce to serve the women and children of Alabama.
