National Association for Health Care Assistants
The Arizona Health Care Association has established a partnership with the National Association of Health Care Assistants (NAHCA) to create a model especially for AHCA members. NAHCA is a non-profit association of certified nursing assistants (CNAs) and assisted living caregivers providing experience-based, peer-driven solutions to long term care. By member facilities joining NAHCA, CNAs and caregivers become members of NAHCA. Membership includes: t-shirts, NAHCA lapel pins, membership card and monthly PEP Talks by Lori Porter. As of March 2008, 35 facilities/campuses have joined NAHCA. What a great way to recognize all the hard work CNA’s and caregivers provide to residents in long term care!!
