ABOUT US
History
The healthcare industry trends and the impact on our communities and nurses resulted in a “Call to Action” of black nurses in Indian River, Saint Lucie and Martin counties by Dr. O. McDaniels. A subsequent meeting conducted at Sunrise Baptist Church in Port Saint Lucie lead to a teleconference with then President of the National Black Nurses Association Dr. Eric Williams and Membership Chair Lola Jefferson on March 18, 2016. Nurse leaders committed to excellence in nursing education and ensuring the growth of the nursing profession had visions of providing scholarships for aspiring individuals, educational programs for our communities and unifying nurses of all ethnicities. They took action and incorporated March 16, 2017 as Black Nurses Association of the Treasure Coast. On August 2, 2018, our organization became a Chartered Chapter of the National Black Nurses Association. Our name was changed to Treasure Coast Council of Black Nurses, Incorporated 12/31/18.
