TELL US ABOUT A nursing assistant that you know
We will be celebrating Nursing Assistants Week in an upcoming issue of Community Matters. If you know a nursing assistant with a great story or you want to tell us how important their work is, or if you just want to tell the world what you love about living in your senior living community, we want to share the story. Contact Ginger Nance and your story could be featured in an upcoming edition of Community Matters.
