HISTORYPrior to 1976, the professional organization was known as the Native American Nurses Association. In 1976, the name of the organization was changed to American Indian/Alaska Native Nurses Association. Ten years later this organization disbanded. The Sun Valley Chapter of the American Indian Nurses Association reorganized and established its own and is currently known as the Native American Nurses Association (NANA). |

MISSIONTo promote, mentor, and support Native American nurses and those serving Native people by enhancing cultural professional nursing practice thereby improving the well being of our communities. |

PHILOSOPHYSeeing the disparity in health status and health care delivery services between the Indian people and the Non-Indian society, the Native American Nurses Association find it wise to come together to promote the optimal level of health status for the Indian people. In striving for optimal level of health for Indian people, the Native American Nurses emulate the World Health Organization’s definition of health “…a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” |
