I’ve just completed a three day 20 hour Addiction-Free Pain Management® (APM) Certification training in Manhattan.  I was very pleased to have representatives from both or our APM™ Center of Excellence partners join us at the training. 
Click Here to read more about our APM™ Center of Excellence Program.

The Sierra Tucson Pain Program has already met over 90 percent of the APM™ Center of Excellence (COE) requirements and at the end of January 2009 will move from Provisional status to full APM™ COE Designation. Valley Forge Medical Center and Hospital is about 6 months behind Sierra Tucson and should have their final designation by July 2009.  Both programs treat patients who have failed at many other treatment modalities; they help them find hope, experience an increased level of functioning and a much improved quality of life.

We have three more of these APM™ Certification trainings coming up during the next two months.  The next one is in Houston at the end of this month then Tampa in early November and finally in Dallas the week before Thanks Giving.  To learn more please go to our Calendar page.
