From the Desk of the President

It is my honor and privilege to serve you as the Second President of AZINA, the foremost organization for all professional nurses of Asian Indian heritage in Arizona. In the middle of the pandemic of COVID19, we felt the need for an organization for more than ever. So, a group of determined nurses came together and through their tireless effort AZINA was born in the year of Nurse 2020. AZINA is blessed with almost 140 members currently and it serves as the state chapter under the umbrella of National Association of Indian Nurses of America (NAINA). To all our members from AZINA, thank you for being part of this great association, you are the strength of AZINA.
