Meet HPCC's June Certificant of the Month: Sharon White, BSN, RN, CHPN®

Sharon shared how certification has made an impact—both personally and professionally—saying "Hospice is about guiding people through some of the hardest moments of their lives, and the CHPN® has reinforced that I have the expertise to do that well. It also supports my role as an educator, helping me teach others how to approach care that often goes against what people think is “common sense,” but is truly best for the patient. It was worth it because it didn’t just add letters behind my name, it made me better at what I do."

Sharon is currently a Hospice Clinical Education Specialist at ExcelaCare, Magnolia Hospice.
