Pennsylvania Chapter of NADONA

Supporting Pennsylvania's Long-Term and Post-Acute Care Nursing Leaders

PennDONA connects current and aspiring nursing leaders with Pennsylvania-specific information, educational opportunities, professional support, and the broader resources available through national NADONA.

A Renewed Chapter for Pennsylvania

PennDONA is the official Pennsylvania chapter of the National Association of Directors of Nursing Administration in Long-Term Care. The chapter is being restructured and revitalized with a renewed focus on serving nursing leaders across Pennsylvania’s long-term and post-acute care continuum.

PennDONA is intended to provide state-specific updates, education, professional connection, and opportunities to engage with colleagues — alongside the resources, learning, and career-development opportunities available through national NADONA.

Current members, former members, and those considering membership are invited to be part of this next chapter.

Our Purpose

Support

Connect

Create opportunities for Pennsylvania professionals to participate in chapter communications, meetings, and the broader NADONA community.

Mission

PennDONA’s mission is aligned with NADONA’s service to nurses in the long-term care and post-acute care continuum – providing Pennsylvania-specific updates and education in addition to NADONA’s resources, educational sessions, and career-enhancement opportunities.
