Foundation Grant Will Help Train Nurses

CONCORD, NH - The American Red Cross has received a $15,000 grant from the Lincoln Financial Foundation to assist in funding the Nurse Assistant Training program, according to a press statement issued last week.

For each of the last three years, Lincoln Financial has supported this valuable program that helps New Hampshire residents get a new start in a career in medicine. This continued support illustrates Lincoln Financial’s dedication to helping local students further themselves and to grow in their vocations.

With more than 20 years of experience training both Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNA) and LNA instructors in New Hampshire, the American Red Cross Nursing Assistant Training program is approved by the New Hampshire Board of Nursing and the New Hampshire Department of Education Post-Secondary Commission. The Red Cross training program is highly competitive and has a 95 percent pass rate on the state licensing exam.

Lincoln Financial Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Lincoln Financial Group, believes in empowering people to live greater lives, which advances culture and empowers greater positive change. Its grant is part of Lincoln Financial’s annual $10 million investment in its local communities’ youth education, economic and workforce development, human well-being, and arts programs.
