Honoring a Legacy That Still Calls Us to Action.

Today, the Suffolk County Black Nurses Association proudly honors the life, leadership, and enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His unwavering commitment to justice, equity, and service continues to guide our work as nurses, advocates, and community leaders.

As Dr. King reminded us, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” We carry this truth forward—through compassionate care, community empowerment, and a steadfast commitment to health equity for all.

Throwback Thursday:

We are deeply honored that the Suffolk County Black Nurses Association (SCBNA) was recognized by the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) on November 14, 2025.

This distinguished honor reflects our chapter’s continued commitment to leadership, service, advocacy, and advancing health equity within our communities. We are grateful to NCNW for this recognition and proud to stand alongside organizations dedicated to uplifting and empowering our people.

Together, we continue the work—strengthening communities through nursing excellence and collective impact.

On December 1st, we recognize World AIDS Day and stand in solidarity with the millions of individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS. This day serves as a global reminder of the importance of awareness, education, and equitable access to care.
Nurses and healthcare professionals continue to play a vital role in prevention, early detection, compassionate care, and reducing stigma. As we acknowledge the progress made, we also recommit ourselves to advancing health equity and supporting communities disproportionately impacted by HIV.
Together, we can create a future where stigma is eliminated, care is accessible, and every individual feels supported.
