AHCA/NCAL Building Trust Leadership Academy; Apply by Dec. 8

AHCA/NCAL’s Leadership Academy is designed to teach facility leaders practical skills to help them build trust with their staff. Trust is at the heart of many challenges long-term care leaders are facing in their organizations. Trust has a huge impact on staff wellbeing, recruitment and retention, patient safety, infection control and vaccine rates. This virtual 15-week interactive program is filled with easy-to-use tools and resources that leaders can apply to improve outcomes at their organization.

This program is for long-term care leaders and managers, both clinical and non-clinical, in nursing facilities and assisted living programs. This includes administrators, directors of nursing, senior leaders, department heads, infection preventionists, quality improvement leaders, unit leaders and beyond.

Two 90-minute kickoff orientation webinars will take place on Feb. 13 and 14, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m, and bi-weekly AHCA/NCAL Leadership Academy calls will occur every other Tuesday from noon to 1:00 p.m. from March 5 through Sept. 17, 2024. There is no cost to participate, thanks to a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
