Double the Impact.
Double the Care.

Dear AORN Member,

Do you want to give back and help fuel the future of perioperative nursing?

The Double the Care campaign is still going strong, thanks to our generous matching sponsor, Owens & Minor. From now through Dec. 31, every donation to the AORN Foundation will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $20,000.

That means your gift goes twice as far to support:

Scholarships for the next generation of perioperative professionals
Continuing education to advance excellence in patient care
Essential resources for OR nurses everywhere

When we care for caregivers, everyone benefits.
