The "Future of Nursing Report 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity" presents an overarching framework for advancing health equity over the next decade. Given their knowledge and experience, ambulatory care nurses informed the report development; however, they must embrace opportunities for further action. Examples of ambulatory care nurses' innovative work and practice are showcased as they lead efforts across diverse settings with multiple partners. Ambulatory care nurses have the expertise, tools, and leadership for decisive action. They must continue to activate other nurses, their organizations, and collaborators to achieve the report's vision.
