With Deepest Sympathy

Our thoughts and prayers at the Florida Nurse Practitioner Network go out to the Volusia Flagler Advanced Practice Nursing Council in Region 2 and the family of Dr. Jan Hess on her passing.

Dr. Jan Hess, DNP, FNP-BC, APRN was a tireless supporter of nursing practice, serving in many leadership roles with the Florida Nurses Association, Volusia Flagler Advanced Practice Nursing Council and Florida Coalition of Advanced Practice Nurses. She was a Primary Care Provider, serving our Vets at the VA outpatient clinic for more than 3 decades.  Dr. Hess completed her FNP in 1984 and was able to achieve her goal of completing her DNP at the age of 63. Jan was a retired member of FNPN for several years. Her activism and dedication helped lay the foundation for many important practice milestones for Florida NPs.

We are saddened by her loss and grateful for her leadership and contributions to the nursing profession.
