You are invited to join the Trustees of the CNS Foundation
in achieving the goal of $1 Million by 2010.

The CNS Foundation is seeking contributions from corporations, foundations and individuals who can help increase the number of CNSs to care for patients and the number of qualified CNS nurse faculty to educate CNSs for this and the next generation. We invite everyone committed to excellence in health care to join with the NACNS members and the CNS Foundation Trustees in investing in our Campaign to Increase the Number of CNSs. Ultimately, health care innovation is measured by its outcomes – increased survival, improved quality of life and reduced costs to the health system. Participants in the Campaign to Increase the Number of CNSs can have a direct impact on these outcomes through their support.
