History of Our Chapter

Chapter One of the Arizona Nurses Association provides education, news, and events for the Greater Phoenix Area nurses. The chapter was originally formed on December 17,1917 as the "Maricopa County Graduate Nurses' Association" with 21 charter members. In 1933, the chapter was titled "District 1" and serviced Maricopa County, covering a 30-mile radius of the city of Phoenix. Chapter One, often referred to as "GPAC" or "Greater Phoenix Area Chapter," is now the largest Arizona chapter by membership at over 1000 members!
