In 2016, over 130 webinars were provided.

In order to achieve Authorized Provider status, HomeTown Health, LLC completed a rigorous application process, including a review by an IACET site visitor, and successfully demonstrated adherence to the ANSI/IACET 1-2013 Standard addressing the design, development, administration, and evaluation of its programs. HomeTown Health, LLC has pledged its continued compliance with the Standard for the next five years as an authorized provider.

Price notes that “HomeTown Health is very proud of the work that our team does to assist our member HomeTown Health hospitals, and we know they are proud of their staff for their ongoing commitment. Our live site review for re-accreditation was held onsite at Upson Regional Medical Center, a long-time user of HomeTown education. As we walked in, displayed proudly on the wall in their Business Office was a Certificate of Appreciation from HomeTown Health from 2006 – over a decade ago -- noting their achievement for completion of the first initial ten courses that were put online. Today, their business office staff, led by Diane Oglesbee, Upson Regional’s Director of Patient Financial Services, continues to integrate the education into their culture that promotes ongoing professional development, and utilizes what is now over 100 courses within their business office. It is just one of many examples of the partnership in education that HomeTown is proud of, and that keeps us motivated to continue to serve healthcare facilities dedicated to staff improvement and educational advancement.”
