Where Direct Care Education and Training Meet Compassion and Professionalism
To elevate direct care professionals through an accessible and unique education and training platform that optimizes quality of care.
To be the go-to source for innovative education, training, and best practices for the direct care workforce.
All direct care professionals must have access to the resources, education, and recognition they need to excel in their vital roles.
We have a deep sense of respect, compassion, and appreciation for direct care professionals working across the health care continuum, as well as those caring for family and friends.
We believe there is no greater opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people who depend on the physical, social, and emotional support of others.
We know that the healthcare economy is dependent upon availability of personal and professional caregivers who need high-quality, accessible education that ensures the best quality of life and care for their clients, patients, residents, and loved ones.
