The California Institute for Nursing & Health Care builds coalitions and partnerships to develop projects in several program areas that address the nursing shortage and other nursing issues:

• Master Plan Development – CINHC is leading statewide efforts to develop a comprehensive statewide plan to guide efforts in six strategic focus areas.
• Educational Capacity –  The Master Plan goals, Building Educational Capacity, Increasing Diversity, Education Redesign, as well as the Bay Area Nursing Resource Center, are examples of how CINHC makes a difference.
• Leadership Development – Preparing nurse managers for leadership roles. 
• California Simulation Alliance – CINHC leads the CSA, a voice for simulation education — disseminating information, creating a common language, and facilitating state funding.
• Recruitment – Increasing the nursing workforce, recruiting men in to the profession, and assuring diversity.
