San Antonio APHON is the local chapter of APHON serving pediatric hematology and oncology nurses from our region. We offer educational and networking opportunities for our members. Our board meets routinely to plan our activities. Our big project this year will be the return of our Symposium which was put on hold the past couple of years due to Covid! You can find registration updates here (under education tab) and on our social media sites....check back soon for that!
