As training centers and nursing homes around the country continue to join the Network and prepare to embark on their respective cohorts, we’re offering a series of pre-launch webinars to explore some of the key themes that will later be featured more deeply over the 16-week sessions.
These interactive, pre-launch webinars will feature national experts exploring key topics in COVID-19 care in nursing homes and offer significant time for discussion.
We hope that both nursing homes that have already completed their interest forms to participate in the Network and those that are new or exploring their next steps will join us for these conversations.
