1. Dear CHES/MCHES:
Thank you for your continued commitment to the health education profession. Below is your CHES/MCHES
card, which lists your identification number and its expiration date. This card will be useful when registering for
continuing education contact hours at conferences/events, when seeking employment and when identifying
yourself in calls and letters to the NCHEC office.
Credentialing reflects your commitment to expanding your skills and knowledge through health education
continuing education. We encourage you to see your recertification goal of 75 continuing education contact
hours (CECH) in terms of five incremental goals of 15 CECH a year. The number of NCHEC “Designated
Providers” of approved programs is growing; so is the number of accessible and affordable CECH opportunities.
CECH can be earned attending conferences; reading NCHEC approved journal articles; participating in
teleconferences, video/audio taped presentations and Internet events; giving presentations; taking graduate
level health education courses; and authoring articles published in peer-reviewed journals. For a complete listing
of NCHEC-approved continuing education programs and providers, and a thorough description of continuing
education policies and procedures, please visit our website at www.nchec.org <http://www.nchec.org>.
Again, congratulations on your continued commitment to the profession of health education.
Sincerely,
Linda Lysoby, MS, MCHES, CAE
