of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (FAANP) during
the AANP’s 21st Annual National Conference held at the

Dr. Chaney was
one of 19 nurse practitioners selected for this national honor.
The FAANP program was established in 2000 to recognize nurse
practitioner leaders who have made outstanding contributions
to health care through nurse practitioner clinical practice,
research, education or policy.
“I am very
honored to have been selected as a Fellow of the AANP,”
Dr. Chaney said. “I hope to make continued contributions
to health care through this honor and in my role as an educator
of nurse practitioner students at TWU.”

as a professor of nursing and coordinator of the nursing master’s
degree program at the TWU Dallas-Parkland campus. A TWU alum,
Dr. Chaney also maintains a part-time clinical practice as
a family nurse practitioner for Parkland Hospital’s
Homeless Outreach Medical Services.
Dr. Chaney recently
received the highest honor bestowed to a senior faculty member
at TWU — The Cornaro Award — in recognition for
her excellence in teaching, scholarship and achievement.
