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 7th year in December 2008 and continues to partner with The Florida Public Health Association when appropriate. This relationship is valued. On March 27, 2009, the FAPHN BOARD made a decision to cancel the 2009 Annual Educational Conference originally scheduled for August 3-4, 2009. The decision was made after careful consideration of the current economic conditions challenging the FAPHN membership and their employment requirements.

The Annual Business Meeting will be available to the membership in a forum yet to be decided. This remains a very important meeting and membership needs to remain interested and involved.
