The CNA training program started in June 2019 and is part of Maui Health’s “grow your own” initiative which includes a partnership with UH Maui’s College of Nursing as well as a number of advanced medical training programs offered to current Maui Memorial Medical Center employees. Most recently, Maui Memorial Medical Center graduated a group of current employees from its surgical tech training program, helping to advance their careers by providing this specialized training.
“We’re excited to continue this program and hope that this helps encourage people to explore a new career in healthcare so we can continue to build a sustainable workforce with talented members of our own community,” said Kerry Pitcher, Sr. Director of Long-Term Care & Critical Access at Kula Hospital and Lanai Community Hospital. “If you have a passion for serving and caring for others and want to make a difference in many lives, we encourage you to apply.”
