In
September 1986 a Certified of Need (CON) application
was filed at the State Health Planning and Development
Agency and was approved in April 1987. The approval

for NEI. Attention was then focused on obtaining Medicare

program is a hallmark of credibility and excellence
in the field. NEI obtained participation in the D.C.
