Certified Nurse Aides (CNA) provide essential care in healthcare settings by assisting patients with activities of daily living. Seven area residents were recently recognized as CNA’s of the Year at NHC Smithville. Maria Amaya, Danna Fults, Opal Parker, Pam Sims, Brooke Goodson, Brittany Bogle, and Cassie Dyer visited the Chattanooga Aquarium with a day of fun and a banquet. Ms. Susie White of Smithville was also an honoree but unable to attend. They celebrated with other honored CNA’s from NHC HealthCare Centers throughout Middle and Eastern Tennessee.
The honorees were evaluated on knowledge and performance of their duties, among other key factors. Mrs. Pam Sims was further recognized as NHC Smithville’s nominee for CNA of the Year for all NHC centers in the Central Region. NHC Smithville Director of Nursing, Melinda Wilson, said, “Each of these CNA’s are hard-working, professional, compassionate, caring, honest, understanding, and highly skilled. They are a tremendous asset to NHC Smithville and we are truly fortunate to have them as valued partners.”
NHC Smithville offers skilled nursing and rehabilitation services to adults of all ages on a short-term and long-term basis. For more information about NHC Smithville, visit www.nhcsmithville.com or call (615) 597-4284.
