CODY — Cody Regional Health is proud to announce that it is now an approved Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) testing site for the State of Wyoming, expanding access to health care career pathways for individuals across the Big Horn Basin and surrounding communities.
This achievement was made possible through the leadership and coordination of Shelly Kindt, RN, staff development coordinator at the Cody Regional Health Long Term Care Center, who worked with Headmaster, Wyoming’s CNA testing provider, to bring CNA testing services to Cody.
Becoming a CNA testing site is a significant step forward for the region. Previously, individuals pursuing CNA certification often had to travel long distances to complete required testing. This new designation allows candidates to test locally, reducing barriers and supporting workforce development in rural health care.
“This is a meaningful advancement for our community,” said Kindt. “Providing a local testing option helps remove obstacles for those pursuing a career in health care and supports the future of long-term care and nursing across our region.”
Community members interested in CNA testing or learning more about this opportunity are encouraged to reach out to Cody Regional Health for additional information.
