The Fellow in Palliative Care Nursing designation is bestowed upon HPNA members who have made significant contributions to HPNA, HPCC, and/or HPNF. This privilege recognizes leadership and a visionary spirit. These are nurses who have promoted and advanced hospice and palliative nursing and HPNA’s mission. Their involvement with HPNA has strengthened the organization, benefited members, and forged a path for growth.
The application is currently under review; communication will be sent to HPNA members once available. Please contact the HPNA Membership Department if you have any questions.
