June Fabre started Smart Healthcare LLC in 1995 to address critical health care issues such as patient safety, nurse staffing, and healthcare value. June develops and presents education programs that improve communication, raise productivity without burnout, and promote team performance.

   June knows about nursing challenges because she has experienced them. She has worked as a clinical nurse, educator, and manager in many specialties such as medical surgical, psychiatry, home care, long-term care, ambulatory care, and managed care. She decided to turn nursing challenges into an opportunity—to focus on creating positive healthcare change. June believes nurses can activate healthcare change by adding communication and leadership skills to their comprehensive medical knowledge.

   Audiences remark that her message of substance, based on both research and clinical success stories, shows them how to improve patient care in their own facilities. Managers and clinical nurses alike say that they appreciate June’s positive, upbeat, and humorous presentation style that makes learning fun and easy.

She has spoken to audiences, both large and small, all across the country. In addition, June is the author of over 50 healthcare articles as well as a new book, Smart Nursing—How to Create a Positive Work Environment that Empowers and Retains Nurses.
