Alejandro Lopez, RN

I couldn’t be more honored. I’ve been a hospice nurse for 10 years now, and this is definitely a certification that I’ve always kept my eye on. This will benefit me as not only a hospice nurse, but as a professional who is spreading knowledge about hospice and really focusing on making sure that everybody knows what a great benefit it is.

The Team Conference for Hospice and Palliative Care was very beneficial in that it was related to my DNP project, so I was able to engage as well as share ideas and collaborate. Thank you so much for this opportunity, and I’m looking forward to the conference next year.

Randi Lynn Beyerl, RN, CHPN

Thank you for the tremendous honor of receiving an Annual Assembly Scholarship! This support made it possible for me to attend my first Annual Assembly to present on a topic I care so much about both personally and professionally – caring for folks with intellectual disabilities. Palliative nursing plays a critical role in our healthcare teams – thank you for investing in me!

“Patients and their caregivers shape our practice through patience, love, and resilience. They help us recognize the beauty of their lives even as we struggle at times. They give beyond measure and overflow with kindness. Through the Florence Wald Champion program, we can honor our patients by ensuring that Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association remains a dominant leader as we welcome future generations of nurses into the discipline.”

Polly Mazanec, PhD, ACNP-BC, AOCN, FPCN, FAAN

I am grateful to be able to join the other dedicated professionals who have become HPNF Florence Wald Champions for many reasons. This opportunity allows me to give back to HPNF and HPNA for the many years it has supported me in my palliative care education as well as my research. Secondly, knowing the funds will be used to help the next generation of hospice and palliative care nurses advance the field makes this commitment rewarding. Finally, it is an honor to celebrate the life of our very own leader, Florence Wald and her legacy. Thank you HPNF for helping to keep her vision alive and for encouraging nurses to advance palliative care nursing practice, education, and science.
