“I can’t say enough about how amazing our CNAs are. They are key to our success because they have the most intimate relationships with the patients. They often know things before the nurses because they are there so much with the patients and families.”
– Jennifer Levi, BSN, RN, Sr. Director of Inpatient Units

“CNAs are the backbone of our organization. They form great reciprocal relationships and make patients and families feel very supported. I hear from families that they take time to get to know them before providing care to alleviate any anxiety.”
