June President's Message
Dear NAON Members,
As the days get longer and the warmth of summer has settled in, I want to take a moment to reach out and appreciate all the work that goes into supporting musculoskeletal care for our patients and our families. During this time of recharge, I hope you will be able to enjoy some time with friends and family that will support your personal and professional growth.
As we move through the summer months, I invite you to showcase your talent by submitting your work for a podium or poster presentation at NAON’s 47th Congress in Orlando on May 1-3, 2027. A call for proposal’s is currently open! I am looking forward to seeing the latest innovative ways orthopedic nurses contribute to our community. So, for those who are on the fence, it’s time to jump off and hit the submit button!
Best,
Deb Valentine RN, MSN, CCM, ONC, FNAON
47th President, NAON
