Youth for Global Health & Social Justice
Selects Nurse Manager and Educator
Kim D. Matthews MSN, RN, MBA, NE-BC
To Lead the Organization’s
Clinical Accreditation Process
Kim Matthews’ nursing career spans three decades. As a nurse leader she has served to improve patient outcomes, teamwork, continuity of care and patient satisfaction. Mrs. Matthews goes to work every day with the absolute certainty that she is going to do something invaluable for someone else not only for patients and nurses under her leadership but as a nurse mentor preparing new nurses for the real world.
Youth for Global Health & Social Justice (Y4GH) is a partner organization to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) global initiative, with a specific focus on SDG #6. The mission of Y4GH is to support young people as leaders who will work to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for our global community and promote open dialogue about social injustice that impacts clean water and sanitation.
As Y4GH continues to be a world leader for youth serving organizations, we have made the commitment to pursue organizational accreditation. This process will begin on April 1, 2021, first with an internal review and then the external review to be performed by the Standards of Excellence Institute. This process will take from 12 – 18 months to complete resulting in a three-year accreditation. Mrs. Matthews will lead the internal process by critiquing the current program of study for high school students interested in a nursing or public health career. The current curriculum includes the cause, treatment, and prevention of waterborne disease. Mrs. Matthews will schedule quarterly meetings with health care professionals from eight countries: Chile, Costa Rica, Ghana, Jordan, Senegal, South Africa, Palestine, and the United States. These quarterly meetings provide input to solidify our United Nations commitment to global inclusion and diversity.
Mrs. Matthews is scheduled to lead the nine-country clinical delegation in July 2022 (depending on global COVID-19 status), at Al Khalidi Hospital and Medical Center in Amman, Jordan, where Y4GH is currently participating in a water project.
This decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be given to a nonprofit organization and shows substantial conformance to the Standard of Excellence Institute’s core requirements. An organization receiving a three-year accreditation has put itself through a rigorous peer review process. It has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit its commitment to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable, and of the highest quality.
We know that Kim Matthews talents and track record bear out her career long quest for excellence. Thereby making her the best choice to lead us through the clinical accreditation process.
