As a clinical leader in the senior living space, I strongly support the proposed changes to allow more VA residents to obtain their CNA training through alternative previously unavailable methods. As an employer, we have a heightened obligation to address staffing and skills. We can develop competent employees who care about quality healthcare and the people they serve. We can also provide career growth tracks in culture focused environments where people can thrive!

Thank you for this much needed solution, to assist in employment of Virginians who will provide quality care excellence for our residents.
