The company's offerings are designed to promote prevention, improve access, and ensure affordable care for all.
Under the new contract, Syra Health will provide comprehensive services including curriculum development, competency assessments, a sophisticated learning management system (LMS), a detailed training registry, and a dynamic quality improvement plan.
