Description

This is a State-Share Educational Program. OCHCH has partnered with Illinois HomeCare & Hospice Council to offer this education to OCHCH members at the same rate as members in Illinois. Because this program is managed by our state-share partner, registration fees will apply equally to members with or without an Education Pass. Webinar links, handouts, recordings, and other educational collateral will be provided by the organizer.

OCHCH Members must register via this page for member pricing.

Registration will close 1 day prior to the webinar to ensure registrant details can be provided to the organizer. After that, contact ochch@ochch.org to inquire about last minute registrations.
