> Do you want to be healthier?

If you answered YES to any of these questions we invite you to join us at a workshop for health care leaders that will reduce your stress and improve the quality of your life! Tested on five continents, HeartMath's The Power to Change Performance is a one-day program that combines research-based tools with award-winning technology to give you significant improvements in stress levels, cognitive state, well-being, and emotional balance. HeartMath received the 2005 Management Innovations Award from the American College of Healthcare Executives for its dramatic results in improving staff retention, employee satisfaction and patient satisfaction at a hospital outside Chicago.

In this dynamic program you will learn simple tools that give you the ability to respond dynamically and effectively to the accelerating speed of life.
