Employer Partner Program Application
On behalf of PCNOW, thank you for partnering with us to celebrate our 10th Anniversary by making the $10,000 scholarship program possible in honor of Dr. David E. Weissman. Because of your support, we were able to open doors for hospice and palliative care professionals to expand their knowledge and strengthen their skills. The response from applicants has been wonderful, and the enthusiasm shows how much these opportunities mean to our community. Together, we are helping to grow leaders and champions in hospice and palliative care. We are excited to continue building on this momentum and witnessing the impact of these scholarships with you. Your partnership truly makes a difference, and we are so glad to celebrate this milestone together.
I continue to be so impressed by the inclusiveness and warmth of the team at HPNA. You all have a remarkable way of making us feel seen, valued, and appreciated for the work we do. Hospice and palliative care can be challenging, but it’s the relationships—like the ones we are building through HPNA—that keep us going. HPNA membership has so much more to offer than any of us have had time to dive into yet!
