SUNY Canton to Host Care Coordination Certificate Program

CANTON, NY (03/07/2017) (readMedia)-- SUNY Canton, in partnership with the Fort Drum Regional Health Planning Organization and the North Country Initiative, is offering a Care Coordination Certificate program beginning May 23.

The curriculum increases students' knowledge of "care transition," which refers to the movement patients make between healthcare practitioners and settings as their condition and needs change. The class is designed for both new students who are interested in the care management field, as well as existing coordination professionals from hospitals, behavioral health facilities or community-based organizations.

Classes will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. every Tuesday from May 23 to Aug. 15 at SUNY Canton's Career Ready Education and Success Training Center (Halford Hall). Tuition cost is $365, and students who are employed by a North Country Intitiave partner are eligible for full tuition reimbursement upon successful completion of the course.

An additional program will be held on the Jefferson Community College campus from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. May 1 to Aug. 7.

Space is limited, and applications must be received by March 31 in order to be considered for either location. Students must have at least a high school diploma in order to be eligible for selection.
