If you’re already one of our clients, you and your employees are welcome to attend this Hospice Boot Camp Seminar at no cost to you or your employees.

Over these intensive 4-day seminars, you’ll learn about all aspects of the clinical operation of a home hospice care business, as well as administrative concerns such as maintaining and documenting compliance with health care regulatory organizations.

Once you’ve completed our Hospice Care Boot Camp Seminar, you’ll be fully prepared for your agency to start accepting clients and start turning a profit. Those who take our Hospice Care Boot Camp Seminar learn to effectively, efficiently, and properly take care of people with advanced, progressive, and end-stage health conditions.

Once you’ve attended one of our seminars, you’ll be eligible to return for ongoing training, including training new employees as you hire new people into your organization, so that your company can stay up-to-date with the best practices in the industry and take good care of your clients.
