CHHA Professional Certification

Professional Healthcare Housekeeper (PHH)

The PHH certification recognizes qualified professionals who have completed the required education and are actively working in a healthcare environment.

Eligibility review comes first. Please submit the inquiry below before beginning a formal application or paying any application fee.

Who should inquire?

  • Current CHHA membership in good standing
  • Completion of the CHHA education required for PHH eligibility
  • Current employment in a healthcare facility or healthcare organization
  • Relevant professional healthcare experience
  • Ability to provide course and employment documentation if invited to apply
