The Premise of Our Work
At NAHQ, our purpose is to elevate the profession and advance the discipline of healthcare quality & safety. We believe the workforce is the greatest lever available to accomplish this goal, but that they do not have the resources required to do their best work. That's why we're on a mission to set the industry standard for quality & safety and help individuals and organizations achieve it.
