According to Casey Hooke, PhD APRN CNS CPON®, APHON Past President, “Beth is your “go to” person if you want a job done and done well. She has served as chair of the local chapter committee, was later elected to our national board as a director at large, and most recently, as chair of the newly formed advocacy committee. All who know her can attest to her joyful enthusiasm for pediatric oncology patients and the professional nurses who care for them.”
