PNACC has evolved from its humble beginnings to an organization that is relevant and focused on empowering its members. It celebrated the successes and accomplishments of its members and provided scholarships to Filipino-American student nurses to prepare for the future. PNACC members and leaders participated in local, national and international conferences and hosted two western region conferences. PNACC worked closely with PNAA in strengthening the association through representation, revitalization, recognition and research. PNACC continued to promote the image of the Filipino nurses in the Central Valley as essential members of the healthcare team through education, collaboration and participation.

 

PNACC is at the table to discuss the future of nursing in the Central Valley based on the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations. Opportunities to lead initiatives, and be in the forefront to affect change in healthcare are truly rewarding. Equally rewarding was the opportunity to share blessings with the less fortunate through service, material and spiritual assistance. Outreach programs widened and aligned with the national goal of the organization. PNACC continues to be the partner of the Philippine Consulate in emergency and disaster response for the Central Valley.
