In 2025, Frontier Nursing University honored the 100-year anniversary of the inception of the Frontier Nursing Service. We are grateful for the students, alumni, couriers, donors, volunteers, friends, and employees who have made an incredible impact on FNU’s century-long journey.

We celebrated this milestone year by capturing and sharing some of the countless stories that make up our history. Whatever your connection to FNU, we hope you enjoy these stories.
