Gamma Chapter Chi Eta Phi Email and Phone Number

In 1946, when discriminatory practices in society and the nursing profession precluded Black Nurses from gaining full professional stature and forming collegial relationships in professions, sixteen futuristic thinking graduates of Provident Hospital decided they wanted to provide a sense of belonging to a valued profession. They sought to create an organization that would provide fellowship with fellow registered nurse colleagues, thus promoting the growth and development of Black nurses. In March 1946, these sixteen nurses met to form the Gamma Chapter of Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc at the Provident Hospital in Baltimore, MD. On April 26, 1946, the Chapter was formally organized and chartered. Since that time the Chapter has grown in membership and outreach community projects. The Chapter has been quite active with programs and projects that support the community and nursing profession. Our Charter Members:Hazel BaileyMazzell DickersonKatie W. FernandisFanida P.
