Suburban Health Organization (SHO) is pleased to announce the Ohio Nurses’ Association (ONA) has approved SHO as a provider of continuing nurse education (CNE).

This approval allows SHO to offer CNE contact hours for participation in any educational activity planned, implemented, and evaluated using the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) regulations. Being an approved provider of CNE contact hours demonstrates SHO delivers quality education which is aligned with the nursing professional standards.

SHO’s Continuing Education (CE) team offers educational activities which will assist nurses in increasing their professional competency/performance and meeting specialty board requirements.  Nurses will be able to improve the delivery of medical care thus improving patient satisfaction, outcomes, and safety and ultimately will impact hospitals, long term care facilities, the community, and population health.

SHO’s CNE provider status follows SHO’s continuing medical education (CME) accreditation through the Indiana State Medical Association (ISMA) and approval as a continuing education provider of social worker, clinical social worker, marriage and family therapist, mental health counselors, addiction counselors, and clinical addiction counselors through the Indiana Behavioral Health and Human Services Licensing Board.

Hancock Health, Henry Community Health, Johnson Memorial Hospital, Major Health Partners, Margaret Mary Health, and Witham Health Services are all participating in SHO’s CNE program.

Individuals interested in planning a CNE activity, volunteering to be a speaker for a CNE activity, or who have questions may contact Terri Neaderhiser at 317-692-5222, ext. 283.
