All memberships are based on anniversary date, e.g. a one-year membership purchased in March will be valid through March of the following year. MasterCard and Visa credit cards are accepted for payment, but foreign checks cannot be accepted. Non-U.S. residents, please pay by credit card.

"Becoming active in the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association has been one of the most gratifying parts of my nursing career. I have found mentoring, educational resources, and a group of nursing professionals whose passion for our specialty is contagious. I am not just a number at HPNA, but a member empowered to make a difference!” Jennifer Gentry, RN MSN ACHPN FPCN
