The Florida Association of Public Health Nurses (FAPHN) evolved from the 60th annual PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING LEADERSHIP, C.A.S.E.¹, INC. conference that was held on July 22-23, 2002. The reorganization of C.A.S.E., Inc. was approved at this time. FAPHN was incorporated December 12, 2002 as a Florida corporation. September 15, 2006, FAPHN was approved by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a public charity [501(c) (3)]. FAPHN is qualified to receive tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts under Section 2055, 2106, or 2522 of the I.R.S.Code.

FAPHN begins its sixth year December 2007 and plans to continue to work with The Florida Public Health Association (FPHA) for the annual educational conference and business meeting. The 2008 conference and business meeting will be held in Orlando at the OMNI Champions Gate Resort July 29.
