Established in 2004, the Center for Nursing Leadership at the University of South Carolina in Columbia is a statewide organization that works with healthcare organizations, clinicians, and educators in South Carolina and across the nation.

Through our annual events, advocacy, and leadership fellowship programs, the Center for Nursing Leadership provides information and learning opportunities for current and aspiring nurse leaders. The Center supports nurse and other healthcare leaders in understanding the complexity of healthcare in order to improve practice, effectiveness, and the value of healthcare, which ultimately improves system and patient outcomes.
