Welcome to the Chicago Area Association of Neonatal Nurses web site. We have been proudly serving neonatal nurses throughout the Chicagoland area since 1990.  Our membership is comprised of approximately 125 members representing area hospitals.

CAANN is committed to its goals of facilitating an exchange of information among the Chicagoland community, providing a forum for continuing education and to establishing a communication network among nurses working in the neonatal field.

CAANN presents an educational offering 4 times yearly, 3 evening conferences and one all day conference for which participants receive CEU’s.

We also participate in the annual March of Dimes Walk and promote other fund raising efforts to benefit our community.  Our achievements are accomplished through the dedicated volunteer work of the officers and board members.
