National Healthcare - Parklane, 2012-13 Richland Two Business Partner of the Year

For over 8 years NHC-Parklane's director, Ms. Melissa Argo and staff, have provided Ridge View High School's Health Science and the Institute of Health Sciences Magnet program the opportunity to perform the 40 clinical hours required for students to practice skills for their National CNA Certification.  During these clinical hours RVHS Gerontology students work side by side with staff (CNA's and nurses) at NHC in caring for long-term care patients.  The students receive assisted, hands-on patient care on skills that are required to pass the national exam.  Students interact, problem solve, and assist with designated therapies. Ridge View is very proud of their relationship with NHC-Parklane and all the real world work opportunities they provide our students.  Through this partnership, we have created a very personal bond with NHC.
