The Propelus Commitment At Propelus, we know that credential verification and continuing education are vital components of delivering high-quality patient care. That’s why we make it easier for healthcare professionals and organizations to stay ahead, ensuring that heart health remains a priority. For Heart Month, we are taking it one step further—CE Broker will be donating a portion of proceeds from subscription purchases to the American Heart Association. This means that when healthcare professionals invest in their education and credential management, they are also contributing to heart health initiatives. The Wrap Up Heart Month is more than just a reminder—it’s a time to take action.
