The American Nurses Association has created a new overarching organization, ANA Enterprise, which encompasses the American Nurses Association, the American Nurses Credentialing Center and the American Nurses Foundation.
The ANA and the American Nurses Foundation also unveiled new logos.
Individually, the rebranded ANA will continue in its current function, as will the American Nurses Foundation and the ANCC. United as ANA Enterprise, the organization will "promote the health, safety and wellness of nurses in all practice environments and provide the resources, information and network they need to excel in their own practices," according to a news release.
Marla J. Weston, PhD, RN, the CEO of ANA Enterprise, said, "The practice of nursing is changing faster than ever before — and, like the profession, our organization must grow and change. The launch of the ANA Enterprise and our new branding will ensure that we're empowering nurses to succeed and continue leading our profession forward.
