St. Anthony Regional Hospital congratulates two Healthy Opportunities for Parents to Experience Success (H.O.P.E.S) team members for becoming certified family development specialists last month. Sara Skinner, H.O.P.E.S coordinator, says this is a great achievement for Miranda Sliefert and Toni King as well as St. Anthony. “We are always working hard to develop as professionals. Continued education allows us to offer the very best service to our families with up-to-date and relevant skills,” she says. The certification was an eight-day program offered through the University of Iowa National Resource Center for Family Centered Practice and Sliefert and King have become the first family development certified specialists at St. Anthony. “Through this training, we are better able to utilize the skills learned to assist families in achieving economic independence,” Sliefert says. And King adds, “The certification was an opportunity to grow our knowledge, to in turn help us know how to talk with and assess the families we are serving.
