Chapter Background
Get to Know Your Chapter Leadership Team!
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. Upcoming events are posted on the chapter web site and the Crescent City Chapter Facebook page.
