Health care providers are clearly providing care in a time of change with holistic nursing at the center of that change.  Emerging from the COVID pandemic, health care now recognizes the contributions holistic nursing brings to health care with our focus on caring-healing and the concepts of authenticity, presence, compassion, knowing participation, cultural humility, reflection and self-care practices, all elements that intersect with the philosophy of patient-centered care.   As holistic nurses we have emerged stronger from both the personal and professional crises and challenges that COVID created.  Holistic nurses have emerged, valuing the importance of patient-centered care, relational based care and reflexive nursing practice. Multiple opportunities are emerging in health care creating opportunities for holistic nurses to enhance the ways we provide care for patients, and address the diverse needs of the populations; particularly addressing ways to eradicate health disparities and promotion of safe healthy communities.   GAHN is a global community of scholars committed to the advancement of the philosophies, theories and praxes of holistic health and healthcare transformation.  Embracing the interacting values of trustworthiness, social justice, caring, healing and scholarship, GAHN seeks to cultivate a network of holistic scholars committed to expanding creative transcultural, integrative caring healing practices that promoting well becoming; realizing the changing patterns and manifestations of wholeness and healing; and providing the leadership and wisdom to promote and sustain healthcare transformation. This presentation will share how the philosophy and scholarship of patient centered care addresses the challenges of today’s healthcare. Clinical exemplars will be provided that will explicate how reflexive praxis; thoughtful reflection, caring, actions informed by a theory and research-driven practice inform the way nurses provide patient centered care. This presentation will illustrate how the scholars of GAHN are working to integrate the philosophy and scholarship necessary to provide patient centered care needed today.
