Support Haitian crisis efforts

Our prayers and thoughts continue to be with the victims of the Haitian earthquake. It is becoming terribly clear that we have only just begun to experience the impact of this tragedy. AONE supports nurse leaders who are volunteering their skills in providing care to those in need. It is the generous, giving nature of our profession that, in times of crisis, will truly make a difference. If you would like to share any stories of nursing heroism, please forward them to aone@aha.org. 

Regards,
Pamela A. Thompson, MS, RN, FAAN, CENP
AONE chief executive officer
