Chapter Background

The Crescent City Chapter was started in 2012 by Jeanne Redmann, RN to offer cardiovascular healthcare professionals an opportunity to belong to a local and national organization that provides current information and education on cardiovascular disease.

In keeping with the mission of PCNA, to promote nurses as leaders in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, the Crescent City Chapter holds quarterly meetings including Spring and Fall continuing education programs. The Crescent City Chapter promotes primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease by providing community education and blood pressure screenings.

The Crescent City Chapter was the recipient of the Chapter Award in 2023. The Chapter Award is a new award that PCNA created to recognize a chapter that has done outstanding work in their community. The Crescent City Chapter has been chosen for the 2023 award based on their commitment to growing their chapter and hosting quality programs in addition to all of the community events and outreach they’ve undertaken.
