Happy Health Care Assistant Day

Today, October 18, is Health Care Assistant (HCA) Day in British Columbia. The name Health Care Assistant is used to describe several different positions including residential care aides, community health workers, long term care aides, home health aides, home support workers, personal care aides and continuing care assistants.

Health Care Assistants are an important and increasingly vital part of our health care system, working in healthcare facilities and community agencies. If you have seen a Health Care Assistant at work, you know how important it is to dedicate this day to HCA’s to show that we all appreciate the hard work they do, and we understand the compassion and care they give every day.

As our “baby boomers” continue to grow older, HCA’s will become even more critical. You too can be a part of this growing and fulfilling field. Learn more about Health Care Assistants by contacting one of our experienced career advisors online or by phone at 310-HIRE (4473). By this time next year, you could be celebrating this day with your Health Care colleagues.
