National Healthcareer Association (NHA) has launched its NHA Membership Community, a new platform designed to help allied healthcare professionals network, share insights, and access exclusive career resources.
This milestone follows the March launch of NHA’s Membership, now available to more than 500,000 NHA-certified professionals. Members enjoy benefits such as specialized content, early access to NHA’s career center, professional development resources, exclusive discounts, continuing education courses, and free recertification.
With the new Membership Community, NHA members can connect directly with peers, filling a gap in professional networking and peer-to-peer support in the allied health field.
“At NHA, we’re consistently working to provide allied health professionals at every stage of their career access to a better future,” said Kathy Hunter, Segment Leader for NHA. “Membership Community will provide NHA members with a first-of-its-kind platform that will connect allied health workers so they can share experiences and gain knowledge and support from professional peers.”
