The Philippine Nurses Association of Ohio, inc. (PNAO) is a non-profit organization
that promotes professional, educational, cultural and civic activities to
unify Filipino - American nurses .

PNAO was formed in response to the growing need for a concerted effort to address the
issues and concerns of Filipino nurses in the state of Ohio.

On June 6, 1992, a group of pioneering nurses, led by Alicia Anloague Tupaz, adapted
the bylaws on its first organizational meeting and the PNAO was formally organized.
The PNAO logo was originally designed by one of its
founding members, Lilian Lampa Palanca.
