Thank you for celebrating nurses and the nursing profession!

We would like to thank everyone who joined us for the KCNA 2024 Annual Gala, last week on May 9th.  The evening was truly remarkable as we came together to celebrate the nursing community, recognizing our exceptional Shining Star Nurse Awardees and Scholarship recipients. 

Every dollar raised goes directly to our scholarship program, providing $4,000 scholarships to 15 nursing students. If you couldn't attend the event but still wish to contribute, you can support by donating through the link below.
