Sixteen students in our Health Care Training program earned their state nurse aide certifications from 1199C Training and Upgrading Fund at a special ceremony held today.  Philadelphia First Lady Lisa Nutter highlighted the event at the Kimmel Center.

The students passed a state certification exam, and are now qualified to work in long-term care facilities in Pennsylvania.  The CNA certification is also a valuable step toward other careers in the health care industry.
