The San Diego chapter (SDNAHN) and the National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN) welcome all nurses and nursing students of any degree level, as well as retired nurses, non-nursing medical professionals, unlicensed nursing support staff, non-nursing associates, and hospitals, patient care entities, and corporations who are interested in the promotion of healthcare and education in Hispanic and under-served communities.
SDNAHN members are proud to volunteer within our local community, as well as internationally, and provide nursing care, community education, advocacy, interpreting services, and more, to those in need.
Membership is available without regard to race, color, religion, national origin or citizenship status, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, or military status.
