NHA’s mission: Empower people to access a better future
This isn’t something we merely talk about – it’s something we do every day. We’ve awarded over 1 million certifications to healthcare professionals during our three decades of existence. These certifications truly empower people to pursue their career goals and move forward, confident that they have the knowledge and skills necessary to perform well in their role.
As we continue to advance and advocate for frontline healthcare workers, we strive to create a ripple effect on the healthcare industry. By working to certify professionals who meet a nationally recognized measure of competency, we help improve patient care and make for a better, more thoughtful patient experience.
Our ability to grow and evolve as the need for certified allied healthcare workers has grown and evolved uniquely positions us to lead the industry. Guided by a spirit of innovation, we offer solutions beyond certification and address the needs of your
learners and students throughout their journeys.
But we don’t do it alone. We measure our success on the collective success that comes from true partners who share our passion for shaping a better future in healthcare.
Building healthcare careers starts here
“We’re going to be taking care of people’s lives. This certification proves that you’re capable of doing that.”
– Jordan Perry, CPCT/A
