The American Travel Health Nurses Association (ATHNA) was incorporated in 2004 to support the professional development and education of Travel Health Nurses (THNs) in the United States. The mission of ATHNA is the advancement of the profession of travel health nursing through education and public awareness. ATHNA seeks to support nurses from diverse professional backgrounds who provide travel health care in a variety of practice settings in the United States. ATHNA joins with other important organizations, such as the American Association of Occupational Health Nurses (AAOHN), the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) and the International Society of Travel Medicine (ISTM) to promote the specialty of travel health care.

We invite you to visit www.athna.org regularly to stay informed as we add more content and expand our efforts as a professional organization.

Note: Travel Health nursing is a growing nursing specialty devoted to the care of the international traveler.

THNs are not "travel nurses" who travel to different locations for employment assignments.

ATHNA is tax-exempt under Section 501(c) (3) of the US Internal Revenue Service and is registered with the NY State Charities Bureau.
