Thompson to Host Info Session on Becoming a CNA Aug. 15

CANANDAIGUA – UR Medicine Thompson Health is hosting an information session at 3 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 15, for those interested in beginning careers as certified nursing assistants (CNAs).

Thompson covers the entire cost of the five-week CNA training course and pays participants while enrolled, with part-time benefits beginning immediately. Course graduates are guaranteed a CNA position at Thompson’s M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center.
