BECAUSE ONLY TOGETHER WE CAN
Our mission is to engage in charitable activities that will promote unity among Filipino American nurses in Oregon and Washington.
WHO WE ARE
Partnering to build an organization where we unite fellow nurses and promote outreach programs.
The Philippines Nurses Association of America (PNAA) is a national association that was founded in 1979. Philippine Nurses Association of Oregon & Washington (PNAOW) is one of the 40 local chapters of PNAA. PNAOW officially joined the national association last March 2003. The organization was welcomed and acknowledged as the 30th chapter of the PNAA.
Staying strong at 16 years, the organization has continued what it started and has unfolded its mission to foster unity among members, spearhead outreach programs and mentor fellow nurses and nursing students.
