Professor Joy Hogan brings more than two decades of pediatric nursing experience to the Wegmans School of Nursing at St. John Fisher University. Her clinical expertise spans pediatric critical care, neonatology, and pediatric and perinatal palliative care, with a longstanding commitment to supporting children with serious illness and their families through compassionate, family-centered care.
Professor Hogan began her career as a Registered Nurse in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and Pediatric Cardiac Care Center (PCCC), where she cared for critically ill children. She later served for 11 years as a Pediatric Service Clinical Resource Nurse, supporting clinical practice and education across pediatric services. She earned her Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from the University of Rochester in 2016 and is board certified as a Pediatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (PPCNP-BC). She currently practices as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner at Golisano Children’s Hospital at Strong in a per-diem role, caring for premature and critically ill infants. She is also passionate about pediatric and perinatal palliative care through her previous work with CompassionNet at Rochester Regional Health.
Professor Hogan is currently pursuing a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) at the University of Rochester School of Nursing and is expected to graduate in May of 2027. Her doctoral project focuses on improving the transition from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to home for medically complex infants by strengthening communication and collaboration between hospital teams and community-based care providers.
Since joining St. John Fisher University in 2022, Professor Hogan has focused primarily on teaching in the undergraduate nursing program. She contributes to courses including NURS312: Palliative and End-of-Life Care, NURS429: Population and Community Health, and Population Health and Wellness I & II, emphasizing experiential learning and community engagement to prepare students to care for vulnerable populations.
