Exceptional patient care begins with exceptional nursing.
At UT Health San Antonio Multispecialty and Research Hospital, nurses play a vital role in every stage of the patient experience, from providing compassionate bedside care to leading quality improvement initiatives and advancing evidence-based practice. Supporting and investing in nursing excellence is essential to delivering the safest, highest-quality care for every patient.
That commitment recently extended beyond the hospital's walls as Kelly Mullis, DEL, MBA, BSN, chief nursing officer for UT Health San Antonio, joined senior nursing leaders last month from health systems across San Antonio for the inaugural San Antonio Chief Nursing Officer Summit. Hosted at Brooke Army Medical Center, the collaborative event brought together nursing executives to address shared challenges facing the profession, including workforce development, professional growth, innovation in nursing practice and strategies to strengthen patient care across the region.
“This summit represents an important step toward building stronger partnerships across San Antonio’s health care community,” said Mullis. “By working together, we can better support our nursing workforce, share innovative ideas and continue advancing the quality of care we provide to our patients.”
For patients, collaboration among nursing leaders means more than sharing ideas. It helps strengthen best practices, encourages innovation and supports a highly skilled nursing workforce prepared to meet the evolving needs of South Texas. By working together across health systems, nursing leaders are helping improve patient safety, elevate the patient experience and shape the future of health care throughout the region.
At UT Health San Antonio Multispecialty and Research Hospital, that commitment to nursing excellence is reflected in every patient interaction. Through continued investment in professional development, multidisciplinary collaboration and clinical innovation, the hospital is helping build the future of nursing while delivering compassionate, patient-centered care today.
