NAON 40th Annual Congress Cancelled
In these unprecedented times, we are all faced with unprecedented situations, decisions and challenges. Every day NAON is proud to represent the meaningful work of orthopaedic nurses, and now more than ever we are honored to watch our community’s strength in action.
Though we would have loved to celebrate you and your work in person, NAON has been forced to cancel NAON Congress 2020 in Pittsburgh.
Please know that we are very disappointed that NAON Congress 2020 cannot proceed. As the global COVID-19 situation has evolved, we have closely monitored the impact to our community and the local Pittsburgh area. Our priority remains focused on the health and safety of our attendees and staff, as well as that of your loved ones and patients. Unfortunately, the coronavirus’s unprecedented and devastating impact has made it impossible to host NAON Congress 2020.
THE NAON FOUNDATION WILL BE EMAILING THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE REGISTERED WITH INFORMATION ABOUT A REFUND FOR THE GATEWAY CLIPPER EVENT.
STAY SAFE!

Thank you for including the NAON Foundation in your life.
The NAON Foundation was established to support the goals and mission of NAON by providing funding for grants and scholarships to advance the specialty of orthopaedic nursing through excellence in nursing practice, education, research and leadership.
The scope of orthopaedics is diverse, touching all ages across the life span and as the population ages, musculoskeletal injuries, disease and the wear and tear of everyday living are affecting the lives of many Americans. Ever-changing technology and the current healthcare economic challenges make resources for the advancement of orthopaedic patient care and orthopaedic nursing practice imperative. To meet this need the NAON Foundation will fund over $15,000 in new awards over the next three years for scholarships to help prepare orthopaedic nurses for the changes in both nursing practice and patient care.
Gifts to the NAON Foundation can make a difference in the lives of orthopaedic nurses today and in generations to come. Every donation helps the Foundation fulfill its mission by funding continuing education, scholarships, and leadership development training.
Tribute and Memorial Gifts
Make a gift in honor or memory of a special orthopaedic nurse, colleague, friend or family member.
The NAON Foundation is accepting gifts for the newly created Mary K Wollan Memorial Scholarship.
Mary K Wollan, RN, BAN, ONC passed on March 10, 2018. Mary K was elected to the NAON Board as Director and then 29th President 2008-2009. Her theme of Uniting the World of Orthopaedics was her mantra not only during her presidency but throughout her career as she brought the orthopaedic team together to serve patients. She was the chair of the 30th anniversary committee for NAON and continued this work until the present by organizing NAON memorabilia and writing the history pages on the website. Locally she was the president and mainstay of the Twin Cities Chapter of NAON. Known as one of the longest running orthopaedic nursing conferences in the country Mary K chaired their well-known annual meeting for many years.
Mary K believed that education helps individuals to learn and grow and empowers them. She also believed it’s rewarding to play a small role in helping others to learn. Many orthopaedic nurses benefit from the NAON Foundation scholarships.
