“Who Will Care?, once fully funded, will graduate enough new nurses to fill the gap created by retirees as well as meet growing health care demands.”

MHA established Who Will Care? to help Maryland solve its expected shortage of 10,000 nurses.
- Nurse shortages compromise health care—limiting health care access, delaying treatment, escalating costs, and contributing to provider stress.
- Over the next ten years more than 40% of the nursing workforce will retire just as retiring baby boomers are increasing the demand.
- Problem? There are not enough students to graduate and fill the gap. In fact, Maryland nursing schools are at capacity and have had to turn away thousands of qualified applicants.
Who Will Care? is THE Solution to Maryland’s Nurse Shortage!
Who Will Care? will double the number of registered nurse (RN) graduates across Maryland by awarding grants to Maryland associate, baccalaureate, and entry-level master’s nursing programs that can achieve a measured increase in the number of first professional degree graduates.
