Meet HPNA’s Volunteer of the Month: Scott Nguy, DNP, FNP-C, ACHPN®!

Scott is a Hospice Administrator at AdventHealth. He currently serves as a HPNA Mentor. When asked about his favorite part of being a mentor he explained "What I love most about mentoring is that it is never one-sided. While I hope to offer guidance and encouragement to others, I consistently find that I am learning, reflecting, and growing alongside my mentees. It’s a privilege to be part of that shared journey."

Thank you for the incredible work you do, Scott!
