New York Black Nurses Association
Variant namesBiographical notes:
The National Black Nurses Association was founded in 1971 in response to concerns regarding the growing inequities in health care for African Americans and the absence of black nurses' voices on these issues. The local branch, the New York Black Nurses Association (NYBNA), was organized that same year and is composed of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nursing students. Among its goals are recruting more black men and women into the profession, assisting black nursing students in securing financial aid,counseling and tutorial services, and working toward improved health care for the black community. The NYBNA participates in many outreach programs that affect black people, and also publishes a newsletter.
