ProCare HospiceCare Receives Provider Accreditation by ANCC

Miramar FL – October 4, 2018 – ProCare HospiceCare is proud to announce that it has been accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education (CNE) by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC), effective September 24, 2018 through March 31, 2021.  ANCC is a Maryland-based nursing accreditation organization that establishes quality educational standards for nursing professionals.

The ANCC Accreditation Program identifies organizations worldwide that demonstrate excellence in continuing nursing education (CNE).  Accredited organizations use evidenced-based ANCC criteria to plan, implement, and evaluate the highest quality CNE activities.  As a result, health ministries, nursing organizations, employers, and continuing education enterprises rely on ANCC accreditation to call forth advanced nursing practice and improved outcomes.

“The Commission acknowledges your (ProCare HospiceCare) commitment to lifelong learning and commends you in achieving accreditation,” says ANCC Chairperson, Commission on Accreditation, Jann Balmer, PhD, RN.  

“At the core of our client-centric business lies the need for hospice organizations to receive ongoing nurse training in a way that allows them to focus on the most important aspect of healthcare: the patients.  ANCC accreditation validates our ongoing commitment to clinical excellence and continuing nursing education for our clients and professional nurses nationwide,” says ProCare HospiceCare’s CEO and Founder, Roger Burgess.
