Chapter Background

Re-Establishing the Central Valley Chapter
After a period of dormancy, the Central Valley California Chapter of the Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association (PCNA) is proud to announce its official reactivation. Our mission is to provide cardiovascular healthcare professionals with robust opportunities for educational enhancement, networking, and professional growth. We strive to create a collaborative arena where cardiovascular care nurses across the region can connect, share insights, and elevate patient care.

Honoring Our Roots
We would like to acknowledge, with great respect and admiration, the foundational leaders who originally established this chapter in 2006: Kim Newlin, Charlene Bolstad, and Adria Beaver. We are honored to carry their legacy forward into this next chapter.

Opportunities for All Professionals
Our educational opportunities and community events are open to both members and non-members alike. We warmly welcome healthcare professionals at every stage of their career—from recent graduates to seasoned specialists—as we work together to strengthen our professional community. We aim to create a space that highlights and celebrates the diverse skill sets and clinical experiences of all our colleagues.

Our Vision for the Future
The Central Valley Chapter aspires to become the region’s premier organization for supporting the professional development of cardiovascular nurses. To achieve this, we will offer comprehensive continuing education sessions each Spring and Fall, alongside impactful community outreach initiatives. Furthermore, we are dedicated to engaging with our local communities through targeted cardiovascular prevention events and wellness programs.

Through all of these efforts, we hope to increase chapter participation and raise awareness of the invaluable professional resources PCNA offers.

We warmly invite you to join us on this exciting new journey!
