Top Ten Reasons to be a DHCC Member

Current members of DHCC, Thank you for your continued support.

 If you are not a current member, here are top 10 reasons to join DHCC:

  • Liaisons with professional organizations. DHCC appoints members to be liaisons with organizations such as The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Medicine formerly known as American Medical Directors Association (AMDA); the Association of Nutrition and Food Professionals (ANFP); National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC); National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) and Pioneer Network. These individuals represent our profession and provide feedback on current trends and participate as appropriate.
  • Volunteer opportunities. Interested in being involved in the organization? Do you enjoy writing articles? Are you working on a research project? Do you have a program or form you would like to share? These are just a few of the ways you can help. Just contact us.
  • Publications. DHCC has published and updated many resources over the years and will continue. We encourage members to volunteer!

Students are supported annually through the Academy Foundation's FNCE® stipend award to attend.  DHCC has two scholarships for students that are awarded annually; and the Gaynold Jensen Memorial Continuing Education award administered by the Academy’s Foundation.  The Distinguished Member and Emerging Leader Awards are presented annually by DHCC.

The events are archived and can be accessed by members at a more convenient time if you are unable to listen to the live event. Workshops held before FNCE® are always full of relevant information provided with nationally recognized speakers. We welcome ideas for new educational sessions and speakers.
