The Army Nurse Corps Association

ANCA's voluntary membership consists of Army nurses who are Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard, whether currently serving, previously served, or retired.

The Army Nurse Corps Association (ANCA) is an organization dedicated to the Army Nurse Corps and its officers. We are a voluntary membership organization consisting of Army nurses who are Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard, whether currently serving, previously served, or retired. All members have voting rights and any member may hold elective office in accordance with established criteria. All members are welcome to serve in other volunteer capacities and on the various committees of the organization. All are encouraged to support fellow officers. In 1976, a group of retired Army Nurse Corps officers met in San Antonio and expressed a desire to continue the camaraderie and close ties of Army nurses and establish a means of communication by, for, and about Army nurses. The Retired Army Nurse Corps Association (RANCA) was officially formed in 1977. In 2000, the organization's bylaws were amended to incorporate all active ANC components in addition to retired as eligible for membership, and the name was changed to the Army Nurse Corps Association to reflect that change in composition. ANCA is a 501(c)19 nonprofit organization incorporated in the State of Texas.

Brigadier General Hazel Johnson-Brown (1927-2011), U.S. Army, was the first Black woman general in the U.S. Army and the first Black chief of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps, overcoming racial and gender barriers throughout her career.

Rejected from her hometown college due to her race, she attended the Harlem Hospital School of Nursing and joined the U.S. Army in 1955. Johnson-Brown served in various roles, including at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and in Japan, while earning a bachelor’s and master’s degree in nursing education.

As the 16th chief of the Army Nurse Corps, she oversaw global operations and implemented key policies, such as scholarships for ROTC nursing students. She also established the Phyllis Verhonick Nursing Research Symposium and advanced quality assurance within the Nurse Corps.

Happy ANC 125th Anniversary Eve!

We are having a sale on coins (10 or more for $10 each), and our lithographs are selling fast! Neither the coin, nor the lithograph will be reprinted and are specifically designed for the 125th! I am going to ship lithographs out tomorrow, so today would be a good day to purchase! You can also pick up either item in San Antonio or DC and avoid shipping costs/delays. https://anca.betterworld.org/campaigns/125th-anc-anniversary
