The goal is to plan and implement initiatives to assist the Filipino-American nurses maximize their health status, advance their clinical competency and education based on their individual personal and career goals.

As we advocate health and maximum clinical and educational capability of the Filipino-American nurses of New Jersey, we are in a better position to contribute to numerous global health initiatives in leading change and advancing health, here and abroad.
