As the primary association for the largest group of health care professionals serving the workplace, AAOHN is a principal force in furthering the profession of occupational and environmental health nursing.
The tradition of excellence for AAOHN began in 1942, when 300 nurses from 16 states created the American Association of Industrial Nurses (AAIN) with the purpose of improving occupational health programs and services and enhancing career opportunities for occupational and environmental health nurses (OHNs). Following a quarter century of progress and growth, AAIN adopted the name American Association of Occupational Health Nurses Inc. (AAOHN) in 1977 to reflect the expanded activities of members in health promotion and disease prevention, and the variety of settings in which they practice. Today, AAOHN’s reach extends to more than 100 chapters in nearly 50 states, with members who work in roles as diverse as clinician to educator, case manager to corporate director and consultant.
