WHO WE ARE

The Northwest Society of Allergy Nurses was formed in 1988. Their goal is to provide continuing education for nurses, thus helping to insure high standards of practice and enhance the quality of care for allergy and asthma patients. Since then, yearly conferences have been held hosting a variety of speakers from around the country.

The meetings have been held in Washington or Oregon with nurses from that particular state hosting the conference. This dynamic group of nurses encompasses participants from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, Montana and Alaska .

The 20th Anniversary1988-2008 conference will be held at Salishan Spa and Golf Resort, Oregon on September 5th - 7th, 2008.
