I had a great experience getting my MHSA at MC! The curriculum was appropriate and up-to-date, and I loved that the professors had actual working backgrounds in the fields of the classes they taught. I’ve been a licensed nursing home administrator since 2015. These are trying times in healthcare and many nursing homes have closed. My MHSA has given me the tools I need to ensure my nursing home is financially stable.”
