Please join us in congratulating this year’s award recipients.
AAPPN is proud to announce this year’s award recipients.
Ashley Cerny, Nursing Excellence. “Ashley’s vision has helped numerous psychiatric clinicians launch and grow thriving independent practices, increasing access to mental health services in communities with significant provider shortages.”
Patty Fray, Outstanding Preceptor. “Patty has been a great well of knowledge for me as a student and nurse in the jail but she’s also an amazing person and deserves this award for all her hard work, empathy she shows our patients, and joy she brings to our multidisciplinary team.”
Amy Renee, Outstanding New Practitioner. “People like Amy keep our community resilient and inspire other ARNPs to do our best in service to our patients.”
Gregory Saunders, Outstanding Volunteer. “His dedication to the hard work of the AAPPN Education Committee helps AAPPN put on superb events in the past few years.”
Our thanks to our Awards Selection Committee volunteers who reviewed the award nominations and named the recipients: Danielle Waldron and Angela Kokinakos, Co-Chairs; Zoë Evans-Agnew, Sharon Wallace, and Isabel Zaragoza-Sanchez.
Scholarship and Awards Breakfast
