Chapter Introduction

Get to Know Your Chapter Leadership Team!

The goal of the Northern California Chapter is to bring PCNA to the local area through ongoing professional education. Each year, we hold two free educational events to educate nurses on the latest cardiovascular health care topics and provide opportunities for professional networking.

The Northern California Chapter is co-lead by Martinien (Marty) Cho, MSN, FNP-BC, Sean Lewandowski, DNP, ACNP-BC, and James Norton, RN.

Martinien Cho is a Nurse Practitioner and founder of Mechi Wellness Inc., bringing over 15 years of experience in cardiac care across both inpatient settings at UCSF and outpatient cardiology at Stanford Health Care, now leveraging that expertise to advance digital health equity and preventive wellness through movement-based interventions.
