The ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Nursing Collaborative for Education and Innovation in Patient – and –Family –Centered Care was inaugurated in September of 2012. It is supported by an initial gift of $6 million to the founding partners - the Ingram School of Nursing and the Nursing Departments of the ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Health Centre (MUHC) and the Jewish General Hospital (JGH) - by the Newton Foundation and the partner institutions’ Foundations and donors.

As of September 2018, the ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Nursing Collaborative is facilitating more than a dozen ongoing projects, with the direct involvement of over 100 nurses working in Montreal. These projects tackle a wide range of issues in nursing practice and education, from providing leadership training to nursing clinicians and faculty, to helping ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ students make the professional transition from student to nurse, to improving opioid monitoring for adult patients.

By facilitating collaboration between academic and clinical settings, the ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Nursing Collaborative helps to support innovations in improving nursing care for patients and their families.
