Posted 6 months ago in Announce
The ANA-Illinois Professional Issues Conference will be held Saturday, November 2, 2024, at the Sheraton in Lisle, Illinois.
In 2022, we started a tradition of adopting a theme for the year. The theme would align with our mission and vision and help set the tone of our work for the year. Our theme for 2024 is “There Is No Healthcare Without NURSES”. The theme encapsulates the indispensable role that nurses play in the healthcare system. Nurses are the backbone of healthcare delivery, providing essential care, compassion, and expertise to patients in various settings. At its core, this theme emphasizes the critical contributions of nurses in promoting and maintaining healthcare.
