Ep. 7 - Ginger Marshall, CEO of HPNA, HPCC, and HPNF Jan 09, 2020

Show notes

In this edition of HPNA’s Podcast Corner, we invite Ginger Marshall, HPNA/HPNF/HPCC Enterprise’s chief executive officer, to share with our listeners her journey in caring for patients and families with serious illness.

She shares the aspects she finds most enjoyable and most difficult in working in palliative care, her vision for the future of palliative nursing, and the importance of volunteering with membership organizations. Ginger’s message is for nurses within and outside of the palliative specialty to continue to strive to learn as much as they can about the care of patients with serious or terminal illnesses. She envisions that consumers will grow to expect that the treatments and care being offered to them is concordant with their own goals, and we, as nurses, have a voice in improving care delivery for all. Join us in Ginger’s journey to advancing expert care in serious illness.
