Our sincerest appreciation goes to their leaders, Moshe Blackstein (Administrator), Raul Catacutan (Director of Nursing) and Maia Santarina(Aiam Santarina, Associate Director of Nursing and VP/PNA NY) for the continued support they have shown our organization throughout the years.

Their generosity and partnership have been instrumental in helping us create meaningful opportunities to gather, serve, learn, and advance our mission of supporting Filipino American nurses and the communities we serve.

We truly value the relationship we have built with them and look forward to continuing our collaboration, partnership, and shared commitment to excellence in the years ahead.

Thank you, Amsterdam Nursing Home, for being a steadfast partner to PNA NY. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and continued support!

Congratulations to the Philippine Nurses Association of New York (PNA New York) on a successful General Assembly!

Today was more than a gathering, it was a celebration of service, leadership, commitment, and collective accomplishment.

We are incredibly proud of what PNA NY has achieved and, even more so, of the people behind every accomplishment. From community outreach and professional development to advocacy, representation, innovation, and service, our organization continues to demonstrate what Filipino American nurses can accomplish when we lead with purpose and work together.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes to our Board, Advisory Council, committee leaders, volunteers, members, and partners who continue to give their time, talent, and heart to advance our mission.

Everyone have represented Filipino American nurses with excellence, dignity, and distinction at the highest level. Our work not only strengthens our organization but elevates the voice and presence of Filipino American nurses in the broader nursing profession and the communities we serve. Let’s also celebrate the legacy of service we are building together and the exciting possibilities ahead.

Congratulations, PNA NY! We are proud and grateful for you.

Continue to lead. Continue to serve. Continue to inspire.

Lead to INSPIRE (Inspiring Nurses to Serve and Pursue Innovation in Reigniting Excellence). 💚💛
