Why NH Needs Caregivers

An aging population and rapid shifts in employment are straining NH’s healthcare system. This has further increased demand for Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNAs), universally known as “caregivers”.

The NH Needs Caregivers! Initiative – run through the NH Health Care Association – is a grant-funded effort to encourage and help individuals start a healthcare career as an LNA. The initiative will help 700 people find an LNA position at a nursing home, enroll them in training, cover licensing preparation and costs and provide them with a $500 bonus after six months of employment.
