From the ANA Regarding Hurricane Helene

Posted about 2 months ago

Thank you to our partners at ANA for sharing the below resources. 

The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene has left communities reeling in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee, and the road to recovery will be long. At ANA, our hearts go out to all who have been affected and we want to do our part to improve the circumstances of the many people whose lives have been impacted.

Even the smallest acts of kindness can have a ripple effect, bringing comfort and hope to those in need. If you are looking for ways to support the communities and nurses affected by this disaster, ANA and our State Nurses Associations in the impacted southeastern US have shared ongoing relief efforts that can be supported. Your generosity, no matter how big or small, will make a lasting impact.

Nurses make the difference.
