Become an APHON Member, and You Join a Community
We invite you to become a member of APHON, a remarkable organization whose membership is comprised of energetic professionals with a strong commitment to APHON and their profession.
You will join thousands of pediatric hematology/oncology nurses and allied healthcare professionals from across the country and around the world who have the same vision as you; a world where children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer and blood disorders and their families receive the highest quality of care and support.
Since 1976, APHON has been here to support your practice through professional development, networking opportunities, continuing education, and promotion of expertise in pediatric oncology nursing. In 2006, APHON incorporated hematology into its mission, recognizing that a majority of APHON members routinely care for young patients with hematological and oncological disorders.
