Mission
The Yuma County Nurses Foundation exists to organize an event to celebrate all Nurses in Yuma County, Arizona in honor of the American Nurses Association’s National Nurses Week.

Purpose
The Yuma County Nurses Foundation created in 2024 is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The purpose of this organization is inspired by the tradition of the annual Yuma County Nurses Gala that began in 2009 as a collaborative effort between the Rio Colorado Yuma AzNA Chapter 7 of the American Nurses Association and the Angeles Del Desierto Chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses. The Foundation is dedicated to continuing this tradition by honoring all Yuma County nurses
