The National Association of Health Care Assistants is a professional association in the hospitals and health care sector that focuses on Certified Nursing Assistants. Based in Carl Junction, Missouri, it seeks to elevate the professional standing and performance of CNAs through recognition, advocacy, and education, while fostering stronger partnerships with healthcare providers. Through these efforts, it aims to improve patient care quality and support the operational needs of healthcare organizations by developing the CNA workforce. Its activities target CNAs and the organizations that deploy direct care staff in settings such as post-acute and long-term care, addressing training, career development, and workforce support. A notable development in 2025 is the launch of CareForce Academy in April, a national center dedicated to education, training, and support for those pursuing direct care roles.
