Health e-Learning was created in 2000 by Denise Fisher and Steve Fisher based on their combined skills of human lactation education (Denise) and online learning (Steve).
On March 5, 2013, Steve and Denise passed the baton of operating Health e-Learning-IIHL to Dr. Lenore Goldfarb and Carole Dobrich of the International Institute of Human Lactation Inc. based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Lenore and Carole also founded the Goldfarb Breastfeeding Clinic situated within the Jewish General Hospital located in Montreal and have assumed the tasks associated with operating Health e-Learning.
Lenore and Carole travel the world to meet customers, build relationships and gain an understanding of the unique situations and people in other countries. We often share a booth at conferences with our sister company Step 2 Education International Inc which provides Baby Friendly Education to hospitals and community centers.
Health e-Learning-IIHL continues to grow steadily and has expanded internationally with multilingual high-quality lactation and breastfeeding courses using evidence-based research as well as responsive tutoring and customer service. We offer our courses in several languages. (English, French, Spanish, and Chinese). We strive to keep the 'I' in International.
Health e-Learning-IIHL is a relatively small company that allows us to be flexible and attend to the individual needs of our students. We adopt innovative technologies and our ability to change quickly to respond to the needs of the lactation community is what sets us apart. Our staff is passionate, kind, and hardworking, and do their best to go above and beyond for our customers. Our team includes an administrative officer, an internet technical officer, and dedicated facilitators/educators/tutors.
We care about our students and helping them achieve their goals, and we care about breastfeeding and helping to change attitudes and practices all over the world - it is our specialty and we at Health e-Learning have been doing it for over 25 years now. And one of the best things about our business? Our customers are the best people in the world! Without their enthusiasm and passion, we wouldn't be where we are today.
We believe that anyone who wants to learn should be able to access the highest quality information - which is why we are online. Our education is the most up-to-date because it is online - you don't have to rely on out-of-date textbooks. We developed a lactation education program to improve lactation care in hospitals and the community and members of our team are involved in and familiar with ongoing cutting-edge research. We make everything accessible and flexible so that you can fit your studies in with your life, not the other way around.
We believe in giving back to the lactation community, which is why we make regular donations to various lactation organizations, we provide several annual scholarships for IBLCE Exam preparation and have offered financial support on an ad hoc basis for many genuine personal requests for assistance.
Now that you’ve learned a little about us, we hope to hear about you.
