SDBNA 2011 President

Sharon T. Smith

 

Welcome to the San Diego Black Nurses Association web page. Thank you for taking time to visit our website. We hope that you will find ease in navigating this site and you will gain a better insight about who we are and what we do.

SDBNA continue to play and intricate role in the community administering flu vaccines to seniors, those without health care coverage and the underserved. We also perform blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol screenings. We collaborate with other health care providers and non profits organizations to promote health care and disease preventions through health fairs, lectures and distribution of literature related to but not limited to, health care issues that affect the African American community.

Annually we award scholarships to students pursing a career in nursing. We also mentor nursing students in all disciplines of their education endeavor. This year we awarded over 8,000 dollars to twelve recipients.  We encourage nursing education and career advancement.

It is my honor to serve as the 14th President of such a wonderful group of Registered Nurse, Licensed Vocational Nurses, and Doctorate prepared nurses. I am equally honored to preside over a large group of retired nurses who continues to serve in the organization and in the community.

Our meeting are held the Second Saturday of every month with the exception of February and December which is when our Annual Event and Annual Prayer Breakfast are held. We meet at Encanto Southern Baptist Church 6020 Akins Avenue, San Diego, CA 92114. The Executive Board meets from 0800-1000 am and the general membership meeting is from 10:00-12:00 noon.

Sincerely Yours

Sharon T. Smith, RN, MSN, FNP
