We know the complex regulatory and relational environment of aging services extends beyond the floor and into our business offices, but are your business office professionals receiving the same level of care and professional development as the rest of your team? This summer, we invite you to invest in your business office and encourage your team to attend any or all of our three business office-centered webinars, monthly from June through August.
