Through an ongoing effort to educate our non-acute membership on topics important to them, PHV developed an advisory committee comprised of administrators across the region. These practice administrators worked in conjunction with PHV to select topics of interest to addressing common challenges or new regulatory demands. Each quarter we will provide an opportunity for any member of PHV to join a Webinar lead by a subject matter expert to discuss a topic of interest.
If you would like to RSVP for the current Webinar or if you have a topic you would like to hear more about in the future, please contact Kevin Sypal at kevin.sypal@phvne.com or at 402-802-8397.
