Message from the MNA President

Dear Maryland Nurses, 

I hope this message finds you well and full of determination as we commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is my privilege to address the dedicated nurses of Maryland during this crucial period, where we come together to raise awareness and support those affected by breast cancer. 

Breast Cancer Awareness Month serves as a reminder of the importance of early detection, education, and advocacy. As healthcare professionals, you are at the forefront of this battle, offering essential support to patients and their families. Your commitment, compassion, and expertise make a profound impact on the lives of those facing breast cancer. 

This month, I encourage you to take an active role in promoting breast health awareness. Share information about self-examinations, screening, and prevention strategies with your patients and within your communities. By disseminating this knowledge, we can empower individuals to take charge of their health and well-being. 

Additionally, let us recognize the incredible strength and resilience of breast cancer survivors. Celebrate their journeys, honor their battles, and provide the compassionate care that only nurses like you can offer. Your empathy and support are essential in helping patients navigate their path to recovery. 

The Maryland Nurses Association is here to support you in your mission. Together, we can continue to elevate the quality of care and advocacy we provide to breast cancer patients and their families. Through education, outreach, and collaboration, we can make a significant difference in the fight against breast cancer. 

I want to express my deepest appreciation for your unwavering dedication to the nursing profession and your commitment to improving the lives of those you serve. Together, we can make a positive impact during Breast Cancer Awareness Month and beyond. 

Thank you for all that you do, and please do not hesitate to reach out to the Maryland Nurses Association for any support or resources you may need during this important month.
