Discovering common ground: the future of health, healing, and environment.

: An ongoing project addressing relationships among and between nursing, health, healing, and environment gave rise to a future search conference. The conference goal was to describe a preferred future for health, healing, and environment and to devise action plans to realize it. Direction and focus were provided by the questions, "How do we want to be cared for?" and "How do we want to give care?" Outcomes, derived consensually, include a mission statement, long- and short-term goals, and a minimalist organizational structure.
