The Genesee Valley Nurses Association is District 2 of the New York State Nurses Association. District 2 of the New York State Nurses Association was organized and incorporated in 1919 in response to the American Nurses Association's mover to create district or county affiliates of state nurses associations. Composed of nurses from Allegany, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario and Wayne counties, District 2 traces its origins to the Monroe County Association of Registered Nurses, Inc., formed in 1900. The objects for which the corporation was formed as listed in the 1940 Articles of Incorporation included: advancement of the standards of nursing; furtherance of the efficient care of the sick; maintenance of the honor and character of the nursing profession; furtherance of cordial relations between the members with other nurses in New York state; and to "acquire, conduct and maintain a central directory clubhouse for nurses."
