Illinois Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses (ILSPAN)

ILSPAN, founded in 1976, is a component society of the American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses (ASPAN) serving perianesthesia nurses in Illinois and eastern Missouri.

Our mission, like ASPAN's, is to unite perianesthesia nurses to promote quality and cost-effective care for our patients, their families and the community through public and professional education, research and standards of practice.

ILSPAN is divided into two geographic districts:
District I encompasses the state above I-80; District II encompasses the state below I-80, including eastern Missouri.
