Claire Martin Memorial Scholarship
NHNPA is pleased to offer scholarships in honor of Claire Martin. Claire Martin, APRN was a pioneer in the development of an independent nurse practitioner practice in New Hampshire. Claire was successful in promoting her “Health Care with a Gentle Touch” for patients she cared for in the Lakes Region. She was a valuable member of the NHNPA and a valuable colleague. Claire promoted the nurse practitioner role in New Hampshire. After Claire’s unexpected passing at age 53, in 2001, NHNPA voted to create the Claire Martin Memorial Fund and offer scholarships in her honor and memory. The funds are used to provide financial support to individuals accepted into or currently enrolled in a graduate program of advanced practice nursing education.
