Their Cardio Milestones program provides a roadmap to achieving measurable improvement in the cardiovascular health of your patient population.

atom Alliance encourages HHAs to join HHQI’s Progressive Cardiovascular Learning & Action Network (CardioLAN). Participation in the CardioLAN provides increased support from HHQI and networking opportunities through specialized quarterly webinars. More than 2,300 HHAs have already joined.
