One is Nightingale Education Group, a U.S.-accredited nursing workforce developer based in Salt Lake City working to close health equity gaps. Chief Executive Officer, Mikhail Shneyder, joins us with more.

Mikhail Shneyder:

Since its inception in 2012, Nightingale Education Group has worked to build a unique management philosophy and frameworks based on principles from respected organizational thought leaders, including Dr. Swarbrick’s 8 Dimensions of Wellness.

Paying a living wage is an essential element of our philosophy, and we announced at our 2024 conference the new company minimum wage. Our 25 dollars an-hour minimum supports our collaborators’ financial wellness, allowing everyone the opportunity to develop and maintain all aspects of a healthy life while maximizing their individual impact.

Now serving almost 8,000 nursing learners across the United States, our nearly 1,000-strong team uses impactful organizational frameworks in daily work. This helps our collaborators bring much-needed education to historically marginalized, geographically isolated, and underrepresented communities while also elevating their own lives, families, and communities.

We believe every nurse has the power to make a meaningful difference in healthcare and beyond.

The Orrin G. Hatch Foundation seeks to build on Senator Hatch’s legacy of effective policymaking. Through our programming, we have hosted numerous Senators, foreign policy experts, and even two Supreme Court Justices to discuss the challenges facing our country.

Our goal here at the Hatch Foundation is to restore America’s institutions to their proper place and function. That’s how we’re building on Senator Hatch’s legacy. And it’s how we’re securing a strong America for the next generation.
