Program Overview

In this program, we hold the following to be an unequivocal truth: We’re all created by God. When you’re an individual undergoing treatment in a health care facility – whether it’s acute, community, or long-term – it means you should be treated with utmost care and dignity. That’s your role as a health care administrator. To help uphold the dignity of each of your patients. This program is a State of Wisconsin-approved “regular course of study” that will qualifying you to take the Nursing Home Administrator examination (if that’s what you want to do, of course). It will also teach you how to be an effective health care administrator, even if you don’t want to work in a nursing home.
