Greetings,

For  many years, my work has been informed and inspired by the pioneering  
vision of Florence Nightingale, “the lady with the  lamp.” In fact, on many 
long nights at the hospital I often felt her  spirit around me. For years, I’ve 
been a champion of nurses and nursing,  like my friend Barbie Dossey, who has 
initiated the Nightingale  Declaration Initiative to raise public awareness 
about the critical role  of nursing in healthcare. If you, like me, feel moved to 
sign this  declaration, which follows, here’s your opportunity!

Many  blessings,

Christiane Northrup, M.D.

Dear Concerned Citizens of  the World, 

Your family’s health, your health, everyone's health is  at risk!

PLEASE GO TO _WWW.NIGHTINGALEDECLARATION.NET_ 
(http://www.nightingaledeclaration.net/)   NOW.  SIGN THE NIGHTINGALE DECLARATION CAMPAIGN. 

Florence  Nightingale (1820-1910), founder of modern nursing, had a clear 
vision of  nurses' key role in promoting health and well-being for humanity for  
future generations: 

“In the future which I shall not see, for I am old,  may a better way be 
opened! May the methods by which every infant, every  human being will have the 
best chance at health—the methods by which every  sick person will have the best 
chance at recovery be learned and  practiced." —Florence Nightingale,  1893

Unfortunately, Nightingale's dreams are in  jeopardy. Today, 80 percent of 
the world’s healthcare is delivered by  nurses. A severe nursing shortage in the 
U.S.,  Europe and developing countries is creating serious,  adverse impacts 
on human health and well-being worldwide. Dr. Hiroko  Minami, President of 
International Council of Nurses that also manages the  Florence Nightingale 
International Foundation, and Alan Gibbs, Chair of  the Burdett Trust for Nursing 
join in saying: "Overcoming this crisis will  require exceptional advocacy and 
leadership...addressing the magnitude of  issues is not something any one 
organization can do alone." 

So we,  at the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health (NIGH), ask you to 
join  us—and a great many others—in taking the first crucial step.

How  can your signature make a difference? You will help us reach our goal: 
two  million signatures urging the UN to declare 2010: International Year of  
the Nurse and 2011-2020: UN Decade to Create a Healthy World. Your support  
will overcome our most formidable obstacles in improving global  health—raising 
public awareness. Together, we can realize Nightingale's  dreams, making 
compassionate care and healthy lives a birthright  worldwide—local to global.

PLEASE SIGN THE NIGHTINGALE DECLARATION  CAMPAIGN NOW AT 
_WWW.NIGHTINGALEDECLARATION.NET_ (http://news.hayhouse.com/t/202050/1390007/182/0/) .

WE,  nurses thank you for your help. Together, we can make this  difference.
