We Are IH: Celebrating our health care assistants

October 17, 2024
From L to R: Health Care Assistants Dwayne Schroeder (Three Links Manor), Manilyn Dantes (Cottonwoods), Nicole Fournier (Three Links Manor).

Health care assistants (HCAs) make a tremendous difference in our lives. HCAs may have many different job titles, including:

  • Community Health Worker
  • Residential Care Aide
  • Home Support Worker
  • Long-Term Care Aide
  • Home Health Aide
  • Continuing Care Assistant
  • Personal Care Aide

The one thing all HCAs have in common is that they provide frontline personal care and assistance services to vulnerable patients, clients and residents.

Meet three of our HCAs at Interior Health.
