At NHA we believe in always being industry advocates
We engage with both regulatory and legislative bodies to promote certification for the industry and for the people working in it. We are passionately committed to developing, advancing and advocating for the frontline healthcare worker. By providing a path for achievement, we are helping people make their career dreams come true, schools fulfill their mission, employers work smarter and more efficiently, and patients receive the care they deserve.
"What most people don’t realize is that across the healthcare profession, allied health professionals make up 60% of the workforce. They are not just administrative roles. They play a valuable role in providing care to individuals in multiple settings."
— Jessica Langley, NHA's Executive Director of Education and Advocacy
