This unique career opportunity ¡ª funded through Shirley Ryan ÄÛBÑо¿Ôº¡¯s Robert R. McCormick Foundation Center for Hope & Equity ¡ª provides a fully paid, fast track for educating, certifying and employing certified nursing assistants (CNAs), also known in our organization as patient care technicians (PCTs).

PCTs provide basic care to our patients, including assistance with basic hygiene, activities of daily living and therapeutic rehabilitation activities.
