🤍 Community Update🤍

On April 23rd, our members of the Central Florida Black Nurse Association of Orlando gathered at Orlando Regional Medical Center, proudly wearing green to honor both Minority Health Month and Mental Health Awareness Month.

Why Green?💚
Green symbolizes hope and awareness, reminding us to prioritize mental health in our communities. Here are some important statistics:

- 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness each year.
- Minority populations often face disparities in access to mental health services, making awareness crucial.

Join us for our next general membership meeting on Thursday, May 28th, at 52 Underwood Street; Orlando, FL. All members, nurses, and nursing students are encouraged to attend and wear orange in support of stroke awareness🧡. Together, we can make a difference! 💪🏽
