About the Birmingham Regional Chapter of SOHN
Located out of the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, this local chapter of the National Society of Otorhinolaryngology and Head-Neck Nurses was established in 2007 by charter at the annual Congress and Symposium in Washington DC. Started by only a handful of nurses, this chapter has grown by leaps and bounds over the past two years and has been very successful by anyone's terms.
Our Mission
We are committed to fostering the professional growth and development of the Head-Neck nurse in the Birmingham, Alabama region, by offering educational opportunities, networking opportunities and helping to make information readily available. As responsible members of this community,we strive to educate and assist the head and neck patient population in both adults and pediatrics.

Our History
We are one of only 13 SOHN chapters in the United States. There was a lot of preparatory work into getting this chapter chartered, and many things were done prior to that trip to Washington, DC in September of 2007 to finally get the Charter.
