The complex nature of health care requires a culture of interprofessionality that supports high-functioning interprofessional teams. Wolf and Prince (2014) wrote, “Culture is the foundation on which any healthcare encounter is delivered” (p. 3). It is therefore important for nursing to elevate thought leaders who can address the culture of health care organizations and how culture can be transformed. Julie Kennedy Oehlert is one of these leaders.
