Members of the Philippine Nurses Association of America (PNAA), PNA Colorado, and other chapters across the United States proudly joined Filipino American nurses from across the country for an inspiring PNAA conference featuring education, networking, leadership, celebration, and a memorable gala.
More than an event, the conference reminded us of what is possible when nurses come together. We build friendships, strengthen our professional voices, support our communities, and inspire the next generation of nurse leaders.
Help PNACO Grow by 15%
PNACO is welcoming new members, returning members, nursing students, and supporters. Our goal is to increase local membership by at least 15%. More members mean more hands to serve, more ideas to share, and a stronger, more influential organization.
Together, we can do more for Colorado’s Filipino American nurses and the communities we serve.
As the newly inducted Dr. Bob Gahol reminds us, let us lead with:
Passion. Purpose. Pride.
Join PNAA and PNACO—and become part of a professional family committed to leadership, service, culture, and connection.

Nurses Got Talent. It was great to see nurses outside of serious work having fun and entertaining their co-nurses. :)
