The Greater Washington Area Chapter of the American Association of Critical Care Nurses welcomes you and invites you to join us in our many activities that foster excellence in patient and family care. Our mission is to provide quality networking and educational opportunities that prepare acute and critical care nurses to “make their optimal contribution” in delivering the highest quality patient and family centered care.
