WSRCC
presents an exciting educational opportunity to all licensed
adult family home providers. We
have joined with the University
of Washington, NW Geriatric Education Center, to provide 52
credits on current geriatric care topics. Nationally and
regionally recognized NWGEC faculty from the University of
Washington present each topic. The series assists providers in
developing and enhancing health promotion interventions to
prevent disease and postpone further disability for the older
adults they serve.
The hours of
education are done at your leisure, in your own home, in the
form of videos downloaded
from the internet.
Cost:
