Mark your calendar for February 9-10, 2022, we will be holding a Virtual Conference. Stay tuned for more details coming late fall!

This diabetes conference is designed to provide diabetes best practices for health care professionals. Participants will gain knowledge about specific topics in the field of diabetes management. It is imperative that providers remain educated in all aspects of their patients’ care from clinical management to new advances. This knowledge-based activity is designed to provide physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, dietitians and other health care professionals with the most current trends and continuum-of-treatment strategies for patients with diabetes.

On behalf of the entire Northwest AHEC team, I welcome you to the 2020-2021 Annual Report. The past year has looked quite different than many in our 50-year history, full of unique challenges and obstacles to facilitating the education and growth of health care professionals.

This knowledge-based conference will provide Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) from different practice settings the information and strategies to maximize their important role on the health care team and enhance their professional practice.

This program will be a VIRTUAL WEBINAR due to COVID-19 uncertainties. Register today!

The aim of this conference is to provide healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to support and treat patients who struggle with obesity and obesity-related comorbidities. Participants will gain an evidence-based understanding of obesity as a disease that is influenced by a complex dynamic of physiological and psychosocial variables. Upon completion of the conference, participants will leave with a basic skill-set that enables them to identify treatment strategies that goes beyond 'eat less and move more'. Live Webinar is October 1st, 8am - 4pm, make sure to join us!

It is time to take a step back and relax. Come enjoy a day amongst your friends and colleagues (VIRTUALLY!) to learn about how to take of yourself while combatting compassion fatigue and burnout. Also, enjoy information on education topics to keep yourself safe with infection control and providing exceptional care to dementia patients. You can do all of this from the comfort of your own home via live webinar and even have a chance to win door prizes!
