American Health Resources was founded by Richard Bronstein in 1992 and, as of 2002, is a comprehensive continuing education and event management company with a focus on health and lifestyles. The primary goal of American Health Resources is to provide healthcare professionals health-related information which will improve quality of life. Through professionally produced and accredited continuing education programs, health professionals can obtain the necessary continuing education required for their licenses.
In order to enhance and broaden our interdisciplinary programming, we collaborate with other educational organizations such as the University of New England College of Pharmacy, AIDS Education & Training Centers, and Western New England University and professional associations such as the Association of Community Cancer Centers, Pharmacy Society of Rochester, Oncology Nursing Society state chapters, and the Massachusetts Society for Health System Pharmacists. The goal of these partnerships is to develop quality programming as we share resources, gain new perspectives, and diversify our reach. We are continuing to increase our collaborative partnerships.
Each of our CPE activities are developed in accordance with ACPE standards and in alignment with the states goals and mission of American Health Resources. Through continuous quality improvement, we strive to deliver continuing education programming which will enhance pharmacy practice and ultimately improve medication therapy outcomes.
