The HPNA Board of Directors updated the mission and vision for the organization and used this renewed focus to create the 2022-2025 HPNA Strategic Plan. This plan holds members at the center of our work and focuses on four key priorities: Engagement, Growth, Resources, and Recognition.
Membership Engagement: Creating new opportunities for members to engage and volunteer with the organization is a priority for HPNA. These efforts will focus on the development of engagement pathways to support members and their career goals. This work will also foster a deeper sense of belonging to build a strong membership culture that focuses on inclusivity and networking.

Increasing membership while strengthening a culture that builds on relationships and invests in the next generation of hospice and palliative care nurses is key to success at HPNA.

Membership Recognition: HPNA is dedicated to being the leading voice and guiding force in clinical expertise in hospice and palliative nursing. Showcasing success stories, advocating for our profession, and engaging our experts will be a critical component for moving the work of the organization forward.
