“This targeted training equips individuals with advanced knowledge and skills, enhancing their professional impact while simultaneously contributing valuable merit to their affiliated organizations,” says Greg Stowell, ACHC director of education and training. “With the growing demand for skillful coordination of accreditation requirements across an organization, we’re proud to offer certification to those professionals dedicated to going above and beyond.”
