We would like to welcome you to the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina for this year's Annual Certified Nursing Assistant Conference at the MAHEC in Asheville, NC.

This year's conference title is "Providing Compassionate Care at End of Life." This topic was chosen, because we know that CNAs are key members of the healthcare team when our patients and residents need to share some of life's struggles and the difficult situations facing them at end of life. This conference will provide content that empowers each CNA with information that will enhance every aspect of their clinical care within individual clinical practice arenas. The faculty are professional leaders who have been recognized as content experts on the topics they will present. Each speaker will share different facets of clinical care aspects related to the important role that the CNA plays in providing excellent patient and resident care.

Certified Nursing Assistants are an integral part of the healthcare team and the reason that so many of our residents, patients, and co-workers are able to provide excellent clinical care. It is the intent of this conference to provide education, recognition, and professional development for Certified Nursing Assistants in all care settings.
