Membership
While you
are providing on-the-job health care services for your company, OOHNA is on the
job providing professional support for YOU.
Since
1971, OOHNA has been the professional organization for registered nurses who
provide occupational health care for Ontario's workers. We began as an
affiliation of local groups of occupational health nurses, and in 1973 we
formally incorporated as a not-for-profit organization. From the beginning, our
association has been run entirely by and for the people it serves.
Today, we
number almost 1000 members, proudly representing the vast majority of
registered nurses who work in the occupational health field in Ontario.
