        Please note, this course is not password protected. Also, since no test is involved 
        as this course is designed to help students prepare for the state LNA exam, you
        will not automatically receive a certificate of completion from VAHHA. If you want
        a course completion certificate for your records (VAHHA members only),
        please check here. The notice of completion will be sent to you and to the human
        resources director at you agency.

8. Maternal and Child Health Series

Please note, several of the links below take you to websites not run by VAHHA. On those
sites (March of Dimes, for example) there is no direct link back to the VAHHA site. To
return, simply click the return arrow at the top left of your screen,  just as you would when
backtracking from any website. Also, this program is different than the other programs in
the VAHHA web training series. For each program first go to the Introduction link.  The
information provided there will describe the goals of the module.  When you have completed
all the readings for each module, including the case study, you are ready to take the module
test.  You can take each of the three modules tests and the comprehensive test independent
from the readings. To access these tests you need an agency member password.
