I would like to express my deep appreciation to the following women and men who have shared their time and expertise serving as manuscript reviewers for the Journal of Hospice and Palliative Nursing during 2004. Their comments and insight are invaluable in the process of moving from "submitted manuscript" to "published article." I could not be successful in my role as Editor-in-Chief without their help. Thank you for all you do for JHPN and the specialty of hospice and palliative nursing.
