School of Nursing and Health Studies vision and value statement:

As a School, we are committed to supporting and improving the health of diverse communities through excellence and innovation in education, scholarship, leadership and service.

The health of individuals, communities and the globe are inextricable. Whether as a nurse, a global health worker or patient, understanding one’s position and contributions to a healthier world is the goal of health literacy. A social justice approach to health literacy requires the critical thinking, writing and community engagement skills that are central to the mission of UW Bothell. The interdisciplinary faculty in the School of Nursing and Health Studies create unique educational approaches grounded in inclusive learning environments that are accessible, oriented to life-long learning and are based on the highest professional standards.
