CANA Global CONNECT, Vol. 1, Issue 1 – President’s Message

President’s Message

Ada Leung, RN, MPH

Dear distinguished members and friends,

On behalf of Chinese American Nurses Association (CANA) Board of Directors, I would like to welcome you to the first issue of CANA Global CONNECT.

CANA was established in 1997 by a group of Chinese American nurses in New York and obtained 501 (c)(3) status as a tax exempt non-profit organization in 2010. Through the organization, members develop professional and personal networks, conduct healthcare activities and carry on our goals, such as promoting quality health care services to the community.

2016 is an exciting year for CANA! One of the milestones is that Dr. Mei R. Fu has agreed to take the lead on the Scholarship Committee and the Chief Editor to launch the CANA Global CONNECT, the official news magazine of the Chinese American Nurses Association (CANA).  

CANA Global CONNECT is a platform to reach out to nurses and other health care professionals globally. In sharing our knowledge and experiences, we can promote our health care professional standard and ultimately improve our nursing health care services for our community – the mission of CANA.

We are confident that under the leadership of Dr. Mei R. Fu, the CANA scholarship committee and CANA Global CONNECT will serve the community to a level we cannot imagine!

Last, but not least, I would like to express our appreciation to Dr. Mei R. Fu and her team for their dedication in making this happen. We believe this newsletter can connect you to our nursing family and hope you will enjoy it.
