❤️🤍💙This Veterans Day, we proudly honor the incredible men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

We especially want to express our gratitude and shine a light on the service of those connected to Mission Health – both residents and team members who have worn the uniform with pride.

At Mission Health, caring for veterans is a true reflection of our CARES Values — showing Character through integrity, Attitude through gratitude, Respect for their sacrifices, Excellence in the care we provide, and Service from the heart. Every day, we are privileged to honor their legacy by serving them with compassion and purpose.

Your strength, compassion, and commitment continue to inspire us every day.

Thank you for your service — today and always. 💙💚

Mission Health Communities is excited to announce a new partnership with Dwyer Workforce Development in Kansas!

This collaboration builds on our successful partnership with Great Jobs KC and marks another inspiring step in supporting our team members’ professional growth and career development.

Through this partnership—and alongside our free CNA training program—Dwyer Scholars will receive personalized wraparound services, including financial support for housing, childcare, and transportation. These resources are designed to remove barriers and help every scholar thrive.

Even better, after one year, scholars ready to advance beyond the CNA role can continue their education with ongoing Dwyer support—opening doors to careers as LPNs, RNs, and even Administrators.
