Each of us has a reason to care.
Some people call their reason mom or dad. Still others may call their reason son or daughter. The fact is every one of us will, at some point, rely on a healthcare worker to care for us and the ones we love.
The simple notion of improving healthcare through greater competency is at the heart of our mission at NHA. We work every day to fulfill that mission through education and certification, leading to access to better care, better careers and better efficiency for providers and their patients.
Help inspire the next generation of frontline health care professionals by sharing your story. You could be featured on our blog, website, social media and pass on what you've done and learned about becoming – and staying – #NHAcertified.

"I find passion in taking care of people's needs. I've always wanted to work in a healthcare setting one day; I know being NHA certified will help me to stand out on the job, and I am proud of it."
Jinam Reinhold-Dossou
"The company closed where I was working, so my friends talked me into going back to school. I was 48 years old and scared to go back after all these years, but I took the chance and did well! I became a CMAA four years ago. I will always renew my NHA Certification because I worked hard for it and without it, I would not be where I am today."
Michelle V., CMAA
"I was very excited when I passed my NHA exam for the first time. I always wanted to be certified in something I took an interest in. Now that I am, I want to take full advantage. It makes me feel good knowing that I studied and accomplished my goal! The hard work paid off. Thank you so much National Healthcareer Association!"
