🩵 🩺 Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) Week (June 11-17) | Theme: "We're Unbelievable"

The week honors the nearly one million front line caregivers, patient care technicians, and home health aides who are the heartbeat of elders and disability care -- the vital, highly demanding, and compassionate work CNAs provide in hospitals, long-term care, and home health.

🤩 Why CNAs Are So Important

As a CNA, you often spend more time with patients than anyone else on the care team, building trust and human connection that patients and families never forget. Healthcare simply couldn’t function without CNAs.

But despite this impact, many CNAs still feel overlooked or underappreciated, especially during long shifts, overnight schedules, or high-stress periods. CNA Week is an opportunity to change that. | Read more: https://buff.ly/qc7B3We
