Ernest Grant
President, American Nurses Association
The first male president of the American Nurses Association. Grant, whose two-year tenure began in 2019, is an ardent supporter of nurses being able to practice at the top of their license. As the coronavirus began to sweep across the nation, Grant and the ANA joined forces with hospital lobbying groups to advocate for federal funding to help hospitals offset some of the costs of fighting the outbreak. He has used his platform to talk about the importance of safety for frontline workers.
