Powerful Together

For more than 50 years, Illinois Nurses Association members have brought about positive change for themselves, their co-workers, and their patients. As a leading healthcare union in Illinois, we know how to work with you to create an environment where your contributions are valued. Join us in fighting for a healthcare system where all workers and patients are valued – no matter who you are and where you come from.
