CDC recommendsHIV screening for all patients ages 13 to 64HIV crosses the boundaries of sexual orientation, gender, age, and ethnicity. More than 1.1 million people in the United States now have HIV,and nearly 1 in 5 (18.1%) are unaware of their infection. Blacks represent approximately 12% of the U.S. population, butaccount for 47% of HIV diagnoses. Unless the course of the epidemic changes, an estimated 1 in 16Black men and 1 in 32 Black women will be diagnosed with HIVinfection in their lifetime.For free materials to incorporate HIV screening into your practice,visit: www.cdc.gov/actagainstaids/tlcSource: CDC.

Welcome from the NBNA PresidentOn behalf of the officers, board of directors, and members of the National Black Nurses Association (NBNA), we welcomeyou to the NBNA 42nd Annual Institute and Conference. This year’s conference is hosted by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Area Black Nurses Association with the support of other Pennsylvania and New Jersey BNA Chapters! NBNA hascontinued to be a “formidable advocate” for the nursing profession and under served and underrepresented communities. Ashealth care leaders, you have joined forces to ensure that the health status of all Americans is a concern not just for policymakers, but the business community, government agencies, health care organizations, professional associations, the servicecommunity and consumers of healthcare.Nurses are at the core of healthcare reform and transformation of our healthcare system as we continue to address the socialdeterminants of health inequalities. The Initiative on the Future of Nursing is rooted in the recommendations of the 2010landmark report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and theRobert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). RWJF continues to support the research agenda set forth by the report and implementation of the recommendations in the areas of nurse training, education, professional leadership, and workforce policy.NBNA has continued its focus on diversity and remain highly committed to our mission as we join you in this year’s conference theme, “NBNA: Influencing Diversity through Nursing Education, Policy, Practice, Research and Leadership.”This theme flows from the clarion call from the IOM’s report that nurses should be full partners with physicians and otherhealth professionals in redesigning healthcare in the United States. Strong leadership is critical if the vision of a transformedhealth care system is to be realized. It is also imperative that the field considers not only leaders from diverse backgroundsbut also how to lead and influence diverse constituents as partners in our mission because the demographics of the UnitedStates are increasingly more diverse.NBNA will continue to offer the very best in continuing education, career development and networking opportunities duringthe conference. NBNA Conference Committee, Southeastern Pennsylvania Area Black Nurses Association with the supportof other Pennsylvania and New Jersey BNA Chapters have worked tirelessly to ensure that you will have a productive andmemorable experience at this year’s conference. The conference agenda includes our signature institutes and workshops.NBNA members will also be honored for their life-time achievements, for being a trailblazer and exemplary contributionsto the profession as a nurse administrator, entrepreneur, educator, researcher, advanced practice, community service, staffand military nurse. The Institute of Excellence, housed within NBNA, will also induct new members. NBNA will continueto support educational advancement by awarding nursing scholarships. We wish to thank the scholarship sponsors for theircontinued commitment to the NBNA Scholarship program which allows NBNA to award 170,000 for 2014.I want to thank the host chapter members, all the Southeastern Pennsylvania Area Black Nurses Association, other Pennsylvania and New Jersey Chapter members, volunteers, supporters, conference participants, speakers, NBNA members, familyand friends for making the 42nd Institute and Conference a success. I personally invite you to enjoy the conference, havefun, network, and fellowship. May you continue your quest for excellence and mark this in your journal of life.Rev.
