NHHCA Spring Conference
The New Hampshire Health Care Association (NHHCA) Board of Directors, Education & Development Committee and Staff, are excited to present this year’s Spring Conference. This year’s program includes more breakout sessions and a chance to earn 6 CEUs, more than in past years. This conference offers something for everyone and we look forward to seeing a diverse group of people from all areas of the long term care profession.
To guide you in selecting programs, we have developed four “tracks”:
ALF: Assisted Living Facilities * ACT: Activities * NUR: Nursing * ADM: Administration .
All attendees are welcome to register for any program from any track. However, if you are looking for guidance on which programs might be most applicable to you, the designations may help.
We look forward to seeing you at picturesque Lake Winnipesauke for a day of engaging speakers, important information, networking, and fun!
