New York State School Nurse-Teachers Association

The New York State School Nurse Teachers Association (NYSSNTA) was founded in 1931 by Mary Birmingham Enhrentreich to promote school health service, school nursing standards, and cooperation between organizations, boards of education and departments in the state. Committees and sections were formed on numerous topics, such as certification, service awards, status and legislation, and programs and conferences. There were also many ad hoc committees, and committees on membership, budget, publications, public relations, nominating, revision of the constitution and bylaws and the New York State Department of Education Committee. Over the years NYSSNTA formed cooperative affiliations with various voluntary and governmental health, nursing, and education groups. Record of liaison activity with the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) first appears in 1945 when NYSNA established its School Nurse Teachers Section. When declining membership in NYSSNTA led to its demise in 1978, members were assimilated into NYSNA's Specialty Group for School Nurse Teachers.
