QUINCY — People interested in learning more about a healthcare career are invited to the Blessing Hospital Auditorium on Friday, Jan. 26, for a career and support fair from 10:45 a.m. until noon. The event is free. No registration is required.

The fair will feature information on direct patient care employment opportunities at Blessing like certified nursing assistant (CNA) positions, patient transporters, psych and surgical techs and phlebotomists.

The event begins with registration, followed by two short sessions on the benefits of working at Blessing Health and on the Certified Nursing Assistant Training Program through which qualified applicants are paid while they take classes at Blessing that prepare them for the state certification test. After passing the state CNA exam, the employee begins work on a Blessing bedside care team.
