CONCORDIA COLLEGE RECEIVES HSE ACADEMIC REACCREDITATION
During the annual meeting, the National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB) Board of Governors awarded five-year reaccreditation to Concordia College. The reaccreditation recognizes the program’s evolution from a long-term care administration degree program to NAB’s new Health Service Executive (HSE) accreditation standard. Initially accredited in 2006, this is Concordia’s third reaccreditation and is now one of NAB’s 16 accredited degree programs.
NAB chair Mary Ellen Wilkinson presented the award recognizing Concordia for its commitment to higher education and quality program standards for graduates entering the senior living and health services profession.
Wilkinson said, “Concordia College has been a leader in recognizing the value of and need for well-educated and trained leaders in furthering public protection and enhanced quality of life for clients of organizations providing senior living and health services.”
Program director Dr. Daniel Anderson accepted the award stating, “It’s been an honor to be involved with the NAB accreditation process for the past 15 years. Compliance with NAB standards have guided our evolution as a program and has always kept us striving for excellence.”
Established in 1995, the NAB accreditation program’s goals are to improve and strengthen academic preparation of health services executives and encourages improvement in baccalaureate and graduate-level HSE programs. Currently 19 states have adopted the NAB HSE standard.
