Check Out the MDH Learning Management System!

If you haven’t already done so, check out learning opportunities available through the new MDH Learning Management System. HCH has introduced three e-learning courses so far, including Foundations of Health Care Homes Certification, and Check Up From the Neck Up (Parts 1 and 2).  These courses are available on demand and are free of charge.  Stay tuned for more great learning, coming soon!

“Love the new Learning Management System! Typically I start new nurses with hands on training and end with HCH. Now, I introduce HCH earlier and use modules for training, I am also having existing care coordinators go through the modules.  Easy to get into and navigate.” Lynn, HCH Lead at Westside Community Health Clinic

Thank You 2018 Learning Days Participants!
