Our Approach

With so much changing so rapidly, HEDNA has reengineered its educational content curation. We provide avenues and facilitate methods but rely on our membership (as the ultimate subject matter experts) to help us curate content, decide what is most important and where/how we should feature it. Our HEDNA Studio initiative is the ideal avenue to produce a variety of content. HEDNA U content is exclusively available to HEDNA Members.
