In response to the current effect of COVID-19, QCHF’s top priority is to help you prevent the virus from entering your facility given the high risk of our residents.

With this in mind, QCHF has decided to move the DON Nurse Leadership Training to a virtual setting. You will be able to attend the training from the comfort of your home and or office.

If you would like to register for a future virtual training you will be able to do so online by clicking “EDUCATION & EVENTS” above. If you are unable to pay by credit card and/or require a printable registration form, other arrangements can be made by sending an email to cmerced@cahf.org.

Virtual training experiences will happen in real time on the date and time advertised. They will require a Wi-Fi connection, a laptop/computer and/or a smartphone. For the best experience, we highly encourage you to participate in a distraction-free environment.

QCHF will continue to offer online classes at QCHF.org.
