"ADVOCATING FOR OUR PATIENTS AND OUR PROFESSION"

OCTOBER 23 - 24, 2023 | SHERATON TIMES SQUARE, NEW YORK, NY

In the last year, NYSNA nurses and healthcare professionals have shown our leadership and power when we work together as one union. Our groundbreaking contract victories are evidence that when we unite and fight, we win for our patients and our profession. New York is setting a new standard for safe staffing and healthcare worker wages and benefits, inspiring healthcare workers around the country. Now is the time to come together to build on these victories and amplify our new national voice to cement our role as healthcare leaders– from the frontlines.

Join us for two days of education, solidarity, advocacy, and fun that will set the direction and priorities for our union.
