Hmong Nurses Association, Inc.

Currently, there are no other organization or association of its kind that represents the Hmong nursing profession. In an effort to bridge this gap, Hmong Nurses Association (HNA) was formed in 2012. Hmong Nurses Association was created to help foster professional growth and development in Hmong nurses and provide a platform to improve the health of the Hmong community. HNA was organized in 2012 under the leadership of Mai Lee, Kao Kang Sha Yang, Dr. PajNtaub Yang, and Dr. Kao Kang Kue Vang. HNA is a non-profit organization that was incorporated on January 16, 2018 in the state of California. The Hmong Nurses Association's mission is to be a professional organization that unites and empowers Hmong nurses to strengthen nursing knowledge and clinical practice towards the highest standards, to passionately sustain the collegial interactions and quality of life amongst Hmong nurses through networking and mentorship, and to educate the Hmong community about wellness management.
