Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA)

Established in 1986, the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA) is the national professional organization that represents the specialty of palliative nursing. HPNA is dedicated to advancing expert care in serious illness through education, leadership development, advocacy, and research on behalf of its hospice and palliative care nurse members.

CAPC collaborates with HPNA to provide technical assistance for nurse-led palliative care programs, and to support nursing practice on the interdisciplinary palliative care team through engagement of our respective audiences.
