Welcome to the Chicago Area Association of Neonatal Nurses web site. We are the local chapter of the National Association of Neontal Nurses and have proudly served neonatal nurses throughout the Chicagoland area since 1990. Our membership is comprised of approximately 80 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 four times yearly for which participants receive CEUs.
We also participate in the annual March of Dimes March for Babies and promote other volunteer efforts to benefit our community. Our achievements are accomplished through the dedicated volunteer work of our members.
Congratulations to Barbara Hering, RNC-NIC, MSN
