MATERNAL MORTALITY CONFERENCE
On September 19, 2024, FNU and the Campion Fund are hosting the Reducing Maternal Mortality: Strategies That Work! conference to address the maternal mortality crisis. We know that there are programs in place that are contributing to the reduction of maternal mortality. This conference will focus on identifying and describing those programs and practices that have made significant contributions to reducing maternal mortality rates.
Join this evidence-based conference either in person at Frontier Nursing University’s campus or virtually on Zoom. Only 100 spots are available for the in-person conference.
SUPPORT DIVERSITY, EQUITY, and INCLUSION
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion office is designed to assist in promoting an inclusive learning and workforce environment at FNU, with a goal to increase diversity in the nursing and midwifery professions by recruiting and retaining underrepresented students and employees. The Diversity Impact Conference is open to all students wanting to enhance and highlight cultural awareness trends within the field of healthcare.

APPLY TO BE A COURIER
The Courier Program began in 1928 to recruit young people to work in the Kentucky Mountains and learn about service to humanity. Couriers escorted guests safely through remote terrain, delivered medical supplies to remote outpost clinics, and helped nurse-midwives during home visits and births. Since that time, FNU has benefited greatly from more than 1,600 couriers. Today, the Courier Program is an eight-week, rural and public health, service-learning program with a rich and adventuresome history that targets college students with interest in public health, health care or a related field.
