These programs help NBNA members grow stronger as they seek to provide culturally competent health care services in our communities.The National Black Nurses Association (NBNA) was organized in 1971 under the leadership of Dr. Lauranne Sams, former Dean and Professor of Nursing, School of Nursing, Tuskegee University, Tuskegee, Alabama. NBNA is a non-profit organization incorporated on September 2, 1972 in the state of Ohio. NBNA represents 308,000 African American registered nurses, licensed vocational/practical nurses, nursing students and retired nurses from the USA, Eastern Caribbean and Africa, with 100 plus chartered chapters, in 33 states. The NBNA mission is “to serve as the voice for Black nurses and diverse populations ensuring equal access to professional development, promoting educational opportunities and improving health.” NBNA chapters offer voluntary hours providing health education and screenings to community residents in collaboration with community-based partners, including faith-based organizations, civic, fraternal, hospitals, and schools of nursing.

Since its inception, improving the health of African Americans through the provision of culturally competent health care services in community-based health programs has been the cornerstone of the National Black Nurses Association. NBNA is proud of its Collaborative Community Health Model developed by Dr. Linda Burnes Bolton and Dr. C. Alicia Georges, NBNA past presidents. This model is the basis for the collaborative partnerships and health programs that are the hallmark of the National Black Nurses Association. The 114 chapters are the primary mechanism through which the national, state and local community-based programs are successfully implemented. African American nurses who are direct members (in cities where no chapters are established) also assume leadership roles in mounting community-based programs. NBNA chapters and direct members provide a host of preventative health screenings and health education including high blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, HIV, COVID-19, cancer, sickle cell and mental health. Working in partnership with organizations and corporations, NBNA has sponsored health education and fairs, outreach for national organizations such as the National Urban League, NAACP and Progressive National Baptist Convention.NBNA Collaborations:Black Women’s Health ImperativeAdult Vaccine Advisory CommitteeRare Disease Diversity AllianceSickle Cell Disease Advisory AllianceNational Nursing CommunityNurses on Boards CoalitionRobert Wood Johnson Foundation Center to Champion NursingThe Campaign for Tobacco Free KidsBlack Women for Positive ChangeMovement is Life CaucusThe Association of Black CardiologistsIn 1998, the National Black Nurses Association became one of the five founding organizations of the National Coalition of Ethnic Minority Nurse Associations along with:Asian American/Pacific Islander Nurses Association, Inc.National Alaska Native American Indian Nurses Association, Inc.National Association of Hispanic Nurses, Inc.Philippine Nurses Association of America, IncThis collaboration gives voice to over one million nurses of color.
