We're Changing Our Name !
The Pennsylvania Nurses Association changed its name. With unanimous approval from the PNA Board of Directors and the OPEIU Executive Board,
the Pennsylvania Nurses Association changed its name to OPEIU HEALTHCARE Pennsylvania. Our new web address is http://www.opeiuhealth.org.
This change is the first step in the organization's commitment to reestablish itself as the premier healthcare union in
Pennsylvania. The plight of the healthcare professionals has reached a critical stage and OPEIU HEALTHCARE Pennsylvania is positioning itself to become a dominant advocate for healthcare employees throughout
the state.
This new identity is a reflection of this mission. As OPEIU HEALTHCARE Pennsylvania, it will further capitalize on the International's
presence in the state, making the organization a more formidable force. Further improvements in the service to the membership is also forthcoming.
OPEIU HEALTHCARE Pennsylvania is not forsaking the heritage of the Pennsylvania Nurses Association but enhancing it.
OPEIU HEALTHCARE Pennsylvania is and will remain the "Guardians of the Healthcare Profession" in Pennsylvania.
Michael O. Bodinsky,
Executive Director
