ONS National Strategic plan


		Preparing for the Future: Where ONS is Going in 2009 and Beyond In 2009, ONS will continue with the ongoing core work that is critical in meeting the needs of today’s oncology nurses. Embodied in our mission is a clear focus on both the profession of oncology nursing and the care of people with cancer. Even as we work to serve today’s needs, we look toward the future, beyond ongoing operations, in three strategic areas: advocacy, knowledge, and partnership. http://onsopcontent.ons.org/CorporateReports/strategic.shtml
