The Hospice and Palliative Nurses Foundation (HPNF) selected assistant clinical professor Danielle Larkin as a 2022 HPNF Emerging Leaders Award recipient.

HPNA (Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association) is committed to supporting the professional development needs of its members, as leaders in the field of hospice and palliative nursing. As part of those efforts, HPNA launched the HPNA Year of Leadership 2021, and in turn, HPNA Year of Leadership in 2021 introduced the Emerging Leaders Award. This honor is designed to celebrate and encourage early-career hospice and palliative nurses. Applicants were required to be under the age of 40 OR have less than five-years’ experience in hospice and palliative nursing. 

The HPNA Year of Leadership 2021 will provide multiple opportunities to help Larkin develop individual leadership skills and reach advanced career goals. As part of this honor, Larkin will receive a one-year HPNA membership, award and pin, and recognition at the 2022 Annual Assembly of Hospice and Palliative Care. Her membership will be valid from 3/1/2022 to 2/28/2023.

BJC Institute for Palliative and Supportive Care provided support for this award.
