Nurses' week takes place between Thursday, May 6 to Wednesday, May 12, 2021.  It takes place annually worldwide to acknowledge nurses' contribution to the health of the community.  During the Covid-19 Pandemic, nurses have worked tirelessly on the front lines to ensure that people affected are cared for.  With the distribution of the vaccines against Covid, it made it possible for us to celebrate Nurses' week in person again.  The pandemic made it a bit more complicated, but with perseverance and careful planning, we were able to celebrate and recognize the best Filipino-American Nurses in Austin.  

Aside from celebrating Nurses' Week in the month of May, we are also celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.  We also pay tribute to the generations of Asian and Pacific Islanders who have enriched America's history and are instrumental in its future success.  The Philippine Nurses Association of Austin, Texas (PNAATX) collaborated with other Filipino organizations in Austin like Austin Filipino-American Association (AFAA) and The Feast Texas.  We had an epic celebration of Filipino fellowship as we recognized our frontliners.  It was also a time for us to show our solidarity and response towards Asian hate crimes.  

Thank you to members and non-members who attended and celebrated this important event with us.  We look forward to your participation in our future events.
