The National Association of Health Unit Coordinators decided to expand Health Unit Coordinators Day to a full week of recognition (August 23-29.)
Founding president Myrna LaFleur-Brooks met with interested parties in Phoenix to chart the formation of what would become the National Association of Health Unit Coordinators, Inc.
An industry journal called "The Modern Hospital" published an article about the successful implementation of what was then called a "floor secretary." We know them better today as health unit coordinators.
