IV. PRESENTATION REGARDING HFA COURSE
A. Bob Decker and Becky Bartle with Hoosier Owners and Providers for the Elderly (HOPE)
Bob Decker and Becky Bartle presented information to the board regarding the course that they would like to provide to interested HFA’s and ask for the board’s approval. The course has two hundred and twenty (220) hours of class time scheduled. They found IHCA to be most helpful and have used that information, however they did make some changes to the course. They are still complying information as they receive it from presenters. The course is a seven (7) hours per day course. One of them will be there everyday. They will use the NAB examination study guide. Ms. Bartle indicates that she had previously taught the nursing portion of the course for IHCA. They will ensure that students are prepared to pass the NAB.
A motion was made and seconded to approve the course that will be given by HOPE. DeVoe/Watson8/0/0
