About Us

History

We are an organization of black nurses with a commonality of sharing our expertise in areas of health promotion. We are emerging as a community resource to assist in many health awareness ventures. We strive to continually be an advocate for quality care among our black communities.

We also continue to educate nurses on disease processes that affect our community. Our commitment to mentor, guide, and provide scholarships to nursing students is ongoing.

We are the local chapter of the National Black Nurse Association which affords us access with over 150,000 minority nurses that recognize the value of belonging to the only professional African American nursing association.
