The Academy of Senior Health Sciences, Inc: Membership Information

  • Please review the excellent benefits available as a Full or Associate Member.
Here is a quote from our newest full facility member:
"Our organization recently became a member of the Academy, and they have already exceeded our expectations in providing resources, education and updates concerning changes in our industry. I have been especially impressed with the response time to our regulatory questions and the extra mile the ASHS staff has gone to get our questions answered. It is critical to the success of the healthcare industry to keep abreast of the new changes and innovations; the Academy has proven to be that vehicle for our organization. The Academy Weekly is a great example of just one of the Academy's resources for education, networking, updates for regulatory issues, as well as, important links to valuable information."

—Sara Busacca, Administrator
Joint Township District Memorial Hospital, Transitional Care Unit
