Various challenges, such as a nursing workforce shortage, an aging society, and health inequality,seriously affect the sustainable development of Taiwan. Although the specialized nursing system represents a significant milestone in nursing development in Taiwan, it is mainly focused on hospital training, neglecting community health needs. Community health care can be effectively enhanced by promoting the family nurse practitioner system, especially in rural areas. Family nurse practi-tioners provide medical care services, boost local economies, increase employment opportunities, and strengthen community cohesion. The cultivation and investment in family nurse practitioners are crucial for improving the efficiency and quality of medical services. With the adjustment of the med-ical training system in Taiwan, nurse practitioners could redefine their roles and responsibilities in a new environment, and eventually contribute to the sustainability of Taiwan’s primary health care and improve community health. Through the empowerment of family nurse practitioners, Taiwan will be better equipped to address challenges and achieve sustainable development goals
