2018-19

As the year ends and we begin 2019 this is a good time to check your expiration dates.  Every week we get calls from Agencies and Providers that are about to expire or have expired certifications asking what can be done?  Agency Directors check your ALSFR and Ambulance certificates, is it due soon?  Agency CME Officers check your member files, do you have current CPR and Certifications for all your providers?
