Washington, DC — The Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) is excited to announce the inaugural group of AWHONN Fellows. The Fellow of the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (FAWHONN) recognizes nurse leaders who have made substantive and sustained contributions to the health of women and newborns beyond the expectations of their role. They have demonstrated outstanding contributions to clinical practice, research, education, advocacy, or policy at the regional, national, or global level that is reflective of AWHONN’s mission and vision.
