Thompson to Host Aug. 9 Information Session on Becoming a CNA

UR Medicine Thompson Health is hosting an information session on Tuesday, Aug. 9, for community members interested in beginning careers as certified nursing assistants (CNAs).

Thompson offers a five-week CNA training course and covers the full tuition, with participants receiving payment while taking the class. They are hired into a CNA position at Thompson’s M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center, where they are expected to remain employed – in a full- or part-time position – for at least one year from certification.

Beginning at 4 p.m., the one-hour information session will be held in the ground floor Thompson Conference Center (TCC) at F.F. Thompson Hospital. Those planning on attending must RSVP, emailing 

 no later than Sunday, Aug. 7. On the date of the information session, enter the campus from West Street to park in the lot behind the hospital. A Thompson recruiter will meet attendees at the entrance to the Constellation Center for Health and Healing – located at the back of the hospital – and take them to the TCC.

For more information on being a CNA at Thompson, which was recently named one of the “Top 150 Places to Work in Healthcare” by 

Becker’s Hospital Review

Released earlier this month are five new Voleur wines, showcasing both expert grape growing and creative winemaking. Made from the 2020 and 2021 vintages, these wines are a clear illustration of year-to-year variability and its impact on the finished product. The sole 2020 offering, a dry red blend called Murdered Out, is a microcosm of that vintage’s near-perfect growing conditions. “From a grape growing standpoint, you can’t ask for much better conditions than we saw in 2020,” Plummer opines. “Not having to worry about the weather allowed us to let fruit develop for as long as it needed to give us the concentration and dimension we desired. From there, it was just about finding the pieces from each farm that played together most harmoniously.” 

Our Dry Riesling is loaded with lemon and lime zest, and finishes of fresh pear and apple. 0% Residual Sugar. Alcohol 12.00%

Late Summer Decorating Ideas

We’ve passed the half way point in summer and as you walk into your home you notice that all those items you put out a month or two ago are looking like they need a pick-me-up. It’s far too early for fall, but you just need a little transition here and there to perk things up. Read More.

Easy Chicken Dinners for Summer

Chicken is a popular choice for an entree. It is high in protein and relatively inexpensive. It is low in calories and cholesterol, but high in vitamins and minerals. They are easy to cook and blend well with a number of different herbs, spices, and sides. Read More.
