Celebrate CNA Week, June 15 – 21

Posted on June 15, 2023 by Anna Mowry

Today marks the start of CNA Week, an annual celebration of the vital work of nursing assistants. Since 1977, the National Association of Health Care Assistants (NAHCA) has observed CNA Week yearly.

This year’s theme of the annual celebration is “We’re Unstoppable,” and is observed from June 15 through June 21. The last three years have marked an incredible moment in history for CNAs, who have immensely impacted the lives of older adults in our nursing homes, assisted living communities, adult day, and home care settings.

Thank you

Thank you to the thousands of dedicated certified nursing assistants who provide essential care to older Minnesotans daily throughout our state. We recognize the incredible and vital work you do and the many talents you possess. Thank you for all that you do!

CNA Week toolkit

To support providers in celebrating, NAHCA has developed the 2023 CNA Week toolkit. The toolkit includes access to downloadable banners, social media posts, videos, and more. This toolkit is designed for providers to celebrate and thank their healthcare heroes via social media and throughout their communities.
