Each year, National Nursing Assistants Week, celebrated from June 12–18, honors the essential role of Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) in delivering compassionate, hands-on care to patients in hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare settings. At Millbrook, we proudly recognize the invaluable contributions of CNAs and thank them for their unwavering commitment to those in need.
Why CNAs Deserve Recognition
CNAs are often the first caregivers patients interact with each day – offering not only critical physical support like bathing, feeding, and mobility assistance, but also the comfort of a familiar, caring presence. They are the steady hands and kind voices that bring reassurance during vulnerable moments.
Whether in skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, or home care environments, CNAs form the foundation of patient-centered care. Their empathy, endurance, and compassion help bridge clinical care with human connection – ensuring that each individual is treated with dignity and respect.
Behind every small victory in recovery, every smile during a difficult day, and every quiet act of comfort, there’s a CNA working tirelessly – often without recognition – to make a difference. They are the heartbeat of care delivery, and their work deserves our deepest appreciation.
Join the Celebration
Whether you're a healthcare provider, patient, family member, or part of the wider community, take this opportunity to join us at Millbrook in expressing gratitude and support for Certified Nursing Assistants.
Let’s raise awareness and appreciation for those who care when it matters most. A heartfelt “thank you,” a shared story, or even a moment of recognition can make a world of difference to those who give so selflessly, day in and day out.
