The faculty and staff of the Center for Professional Development are committed to the goal of providing quality educational opportunities and an environment that will help support career growth and retention of clinical staff at Hallmark Health. Through educational programs, we provide employees of our health system, as well as clinicians from a variety of local settings, with the tools needed to broaden clinical skills, develop professional interests, and foster lifetime learning.

The Center for Professional Development views this educational initiative as a vehicle to provide the nurse and other clinicians with the tools to master entry level skills of their positions as well as those needed to advance from novice to expert clinicians. We see the practicing nurse as a lifelong learner. We see education as a means of promoting job satisfaction and employee retention, as well as encouraging the highest quality of care from our patients through competency in practice. We believe that Hallmark Health can provide quality educational programming to our employees, as well as become a recognized educational center for clinical and professional growth to other health care professionals in our community.
