New York City-based NYU Langone Health has opened its Lerner Holistic Integrative Health Nursing Fellowship to nurses nationwide, expanding a program previously limited to its own workforce.
The fellowship supports nurses in identifying care gaps and piloting wellness-based interventions aimed at improving patient outcomes and strengthening nursing leadership. Participants also receive training in integrative health techniques, including breathing exercises, aromatherapy and meditation.
Since the program’s launch three years ago, projects developed by fellows have reached nearly 4,000 patients, caregivers and staff, according to a Jan. 27 news release. Past initiatives include a wellness guide for surgical patients and a training program to support healthcare workers caring for patients at the end of life.
The 2026 cohort includes collaborative group projects focused on health equity, end-of-life care and integrative health research.
