May 9, 2026: Professional Caregiver Certification Training
- follow-up |
|
|
|
|
|
Our congratulations to the following teams who arranged for 10 or more of their care givers to attend our certification training on May 9!
Congratulations too, to the caregivers from Vigeo Home Health and Paragon Home Care who joined us.
We've listed the teams that sent ten or more of their caregivers to either of our trainings so far this year at ipmdc.org/accredited-providers. They all received an online digital logo to share.
We were planning to offer our next training on September 12, but there will be another Inova Neurosciences event that day, so we'll postpone our training. We'll update you on our next training session through this newsletter and on ipmdc.org/professional-education.
Please save the date for September 12 though! We'll share more information about this event as it becomes available. |
