FAQ
What Does a CNA Do?
A CNA’s responsibilities span a broad range of tasks, like checking vitals, gathering supplies, or assisting with daily patient care like bathing and feeding. As a CNA, you’ll report directly to our director of nursing and will help ensure our departments run smoothly and our patients receive consistent, compassionate care.
Where Does a CNA Work?
At Star Valley Health, our CNAs work throughout our hospital and at our long-term care facility, the Star Valley Care Center. We offer full-time, part-time, and as-needed roles.
How Do I Get Certified?
Our training program begins on November 10, 2025, and will run for four weeks.
