Metroplex Black Nurses Association-Dallas, Inc.

Purpose

The Metroplex Black Nurses Association was formed to provide a forum for the following:

• Collaborative arena for community service projects that provide effective education for patients and their families.
• Address health issues in our changing environment.
• Initiation and maintenance of positive health behaviors and wellness.
• A forum for professional networking.
• Acknowledgement of cultural issues relating to personal values, needs, and goals for promoting wellness.

The star in the North Texas location represents the Metroplex, which is also symbolic of the Dallas Cowboys and the logo for the State of Texas.

The black shape of Texas in the center represents the Black Americans, along with other  minority groups in our society who are by design or neglect, excluded from the means to achieve access to the health mainstream of America.

The red cross shape colored in America’s flag shown in this logo represents the nurses who perform health care in America.
