Full tuition covered for CNA training course starting 5-9

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 Monday, May 9. 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 receive a raise 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, which is offered every two months, visit Free CNA Training Class. Applying online is recommended because it will result in an invitation to a class information session.


Surgeons Holding Virtual Hernia Screening Clinic May 4

UR Medicine Thompson Health is hosting a free Virtual Hernia Screening Clinic on Wednesday, May 4, from 5 to 7 p.m.

David Peter, Dr. Joseph Talarico, Dr. Theodor Kaufman and Dr. Andrew Powers will perform private, virtual screenings of participants. To register for a screening – to be held via Zoom – call Advanced Surgical Services at  (585) 978-8350. Space is limited, with a registration deadline of May 3.

Prior to the screenings, participants are encouraged to view a video presentation at ThompsonHealth.com/Hernia. The presentation features hernia causes and symptoms, as well as the benefits of minimally-invasive surgery using daVinci® robotic-assisted technology.

Why New York Cabernet Franc is becoming the new black

🌐 the-buyer.net

Freshness, elegance and novelty are just three reasons why New York Cabernet Franc is making a big impression on wine lovers both in the US and UK, says Justin Keay, who talks to winemakers from the two main New York wine regions of Finger Lakes and Long Island. He also Zooms in for an Oz Clarke-hosted tasting ‘face-off’ between three New York Cabernet Franc producers and three from other wine regions, including the Loire and South Africa to discover why this particular variety is so on-trend and such an important grape for the future.

Closet Organizing

The seasons are changing and you are getting ready to shift your wardrobe from winter to lighter and brighter outfits. Plus, you would sure like to buy a few new things. As you are looking through the closet, if you are finding more mess that neat, it may be time for an overhaul. Read More.

Leg Cramps

A leg cramp or Charley Horse is a sudden onset when the leg muscle contracts or shortens and can last for a few seconds or minutes. Generally they occur in the calf but can also be in the feet and thighs. Cramps in thighs seem to have the longest duration. If the cramp is very tight, that muscle can still be sore for days. This is different from restless legs syndrome, where there is an involuntary urge to move...and material for another article another day. Read More.

Lentils

Lentils are a round, disk-shaped legume. As more people are switching to a plant-based diet, lentils are a good source of vegetable protein. They have the advantage of not needing a presoak and cook quicker than dried beans. They are often included in hearty soups but can be found in casseroles and salads. You will find them in the dried beans/rice area of your supermarket. They come in different varieties which offer choices in texture and, therefore, uses. Read More.
