Hospice and Palliative Nurses Foundation

Two classes of our HPNF Emerging Leaders came together to share insights, ideas, and aspirations for the future of hospice and palliative nursing. 💡💬 With direct connections to HPNA and HPNF staff in membership, marketing, and advocacy, this special gathering gave our leaders the chance to collaborate on how we can support their growth, amplify their voices, and expand their impact. We’re inspired by the turnout, the energy, and the vision these rising leaders bring to our community. The future looks bright! ✨
