Description
Home Care University (HCU) is a partnership between National Association for Home Care and Hospice (NAHC) and Relias Learning. HCU provides a variety of education for the home care and hospice workforce through multiple learning mediums (e.g., interactive modules, articles, videos). Organizations can purchase access to HCU e-learning libraries so employees can access at no cost. Individual healthcare workers can purchase courses individually and receive a discount if their employer is a member of NAHC. There are more than 350 courses currently offered by NAHC which are mostly aimed at administrators and executives. There are over 800 courses offered by Relias that are directed for home health and hospice workers themselves.
