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 Mary Nejedly and Sharon Howe, RN, BSN, MBA-HCA. Sharon is a mother of two, ages 10 and 6, and has been married for 24 years. She has been a critical care nurse her entire career. Originally from the Dallas area, she has been in the Bay Area for a year and wonders what took her so long! Preventative health is important to her because in her family everyone dies from heart disease in their 40’s and 50’s. She deeply enjoys managing the CCU Team at El Camino and in her free time she loves to cook and travel.
