CNA Training Course Begins March 22

In partnership with Finger Lakes Community College, UR Medicine Thompson Health is offering a five-week training course for individuals interested in becoming certified nursing assistants (CNAs) at the M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center in Canandaigua. Classes are scheduled to begin on Tuesday, March 22. The classes are full-time, primarily Mondays through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and attendance is mandatory.

Thompson Health covers the full tuition, and participants receive payment while taking the class. They are hired into a CNA position at M.M. Ewing, a 178-bed skilled nursing facility that has a five-star overall rating from the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The position will most likely be part-time, on a specific unit and shift, and will include weekends and holidays. After academic and clinical training is complete, course participants are scheduled to take the New York State CNA Examination. Upon successful completion of the certification exam, participants are assigned an hourly rate and go through an additional three-week clinical orientation, with preceptors on their specific units.

With tuition covered and payment provided during the course, it is required that all successful participants remain employed by M.M. Ewing– in a full- or part-time position – for at least one year from certification. For more details and to apply for the course, visit

Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery will donate half of its proceeds to the World Central Kitchen to help provide meals at the Ukraine-Poland border.

Like many, Meaghan Frank and her father, Fred, watched TV news reports showing Russian tanks rolling into their ancestors' land of Ukraine.

Despite what she was seeing with her own eyes, Meaghan Frank said she felt like this wasn’t really happening. But as she and the rest the world continue to learn, it was — and is — very real.

Fun Things to Do in March

Spring is on its way but not here quite yet. Still there are lots of fun family adventures to be had that are appropriate for the month of March.

Annual Cleaning Tasks

It is just about time for spring cleaning. In fact, you may notice more ads for cleaning products at this time of the year as well as pharmacies offering take backs on drugs for safe disposal. There are a number of cultures that celebrate renewals or holidays that encourage a fresh start that include cleaning and ridding yourself of unnecessary items. Read More.

Irish Soda Bread

Irish soda bread is a non yeast, rustic bread. Traditionalists will say that you only need flour, salt, baking soda, and buttermilk. Others will say that this is actually more of a scone. The retort is that to add anything else would make it a tea cake. Read More.
