LOWVILLE, N.Y. (WWNY) - If youâre interested in getting a start in the health care field, a local hospital is offering free training to become a certified nurse aide.
At Lewis County Health System, CNAs provide a foundation of care for residents in the nursing home.
The hospital is set to offer a 100-hour course, helping students get a state certification and then a job.

Thatâs what you get in return, is knowing that youâve helped to take care of somebody else and make a difference in their life,â said Marcy Teal, interim chief nursing officer, staff development coordinator.
