Black History Month: Recognizing Dr. Cheryl Thaxton

Posted over 4 years ago

In recogntion of Black History Month, the Board would like to take some time to acknowledge one of our members.  NTNP is a professional organization that is made up of a diverse group of NPs and NP students.  When you come to our meetings, you can see diversity in race, ethnicity, gender, our NP specialties, and many other areas.  Our goal is to continue our efforts towards inclusivity for all of our members.  

To help celebrate this month, we would like to share this story about our NTNP Board Treasurer, Dr. Cheryl Thaxton.  

Please follow this link https://twu.edu/nursing/news/life-altering-experience-set-path-for-career/ to view her story of how she became involved in improving palliative care for patients.  Without wonderful practitioners like her, our profession wouldn't be what it is today.  

Please enjoy!
