“On behalf of the New Jersey Hospital Association and the more than 200 certified nursing assistants who attended the Sept. 13 CNA Recognition Day, I want to thank you for your uplifting and entertaining presentation. As I walked through the room it was such a pleasure to see the audience having fun, being engaged and appreciating the words of wisdom you offered. Your message about self-care, friendship and communication is so important for people who care for some of the frailest, most dependent seniors in long term care facilities. Your energy was certainly contagious, and your appreciation for the daily work and interactions between CNAs and seniors really came through. You helped make our day incredibly special and unique, and we thank you!”
Theresa Edelstein, Vice President, Continuing Care Services, New Jersey Hospital Association
