CNA spotlight: Bonnie P. Avamere Olympic Rehabilitation of Sequim.

“Becoming a CNA was definitely a calling from my daughter from heaven. Up until she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I never in a million years thought I’d end up in healthcare.After 4 years of doing everything possible to save my daughter, God took her. He had other plans in store. I was inspired by all the kindness from the medical team that helped her and the hospice staff who came into my home to help us see her off.In some ways, helping others like I do gives me a sense of purpose for my daughter, and in a weird way, it brings me closer to her. I would ultimately love to become a hospice nurse.”

Bonnie, your story moves us—thank you for the deep care and purpose you bring to your work.

CNA Week Spotlight: Charlea F.
At Avamere Rehabilitation of Issaquah, Charlea brings more than skill—she brings heart, energy, and healing.

“My mother inspired me to become a CNA. I saw the joy she had in the work and how her patients were happy in her care.”
For Charlea, this work is both a stepping stone and a calling. “I'm a natural healer through energy and empathy. It's my gift to the community. ”Her patients feel that care deeply—many have told her how much they enjoy her presence. Most recently, she helped a resident regain the ability to transfer independently, a milestone in that patient’s rehab journey.

Thank you, Charlea, for being a true light on Team Avamere.

CNA Week Spotlight: Christina H. At Avamere Crestview of Portland, Christina brings dedication and heart to every shift.

“I started as a CNA to gain experience for nursing school—but also because my mom was a CNA for many years. I wanted to follow in her footsteps, and my grandmother’s too, who was an LPN before she passed away.”

Christina, thank you for carrying on a legacy of care and compassion. We’re grateful to have you on Team Avamere.

Sharpening skills, strengthening care.
