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.

December 2010, FAPHN began its 9th year. FAPHN successfully held the Annual Educational Education Training Conference and Business Meeting September 22, 2011, in Altmamonte Springs, Florida. Special thanks to all who participated. Board Members names and contact numbers are listed on the Board page of this WEB site.

Mini Grant Projects Results 2009-2010 (No Mini Grants for 2010-2011)

The 2010-2011 Board of Directors temporarily ceased allocation of funding for Mini-Grants. This decision is based on current economic challenges adversely affecting our members and FAPHN. Reports from the two Mini-Grants awarded 2009-2010 will be posted by the end of August 2011.
