The Yankton City Commission agreed to sponsor an application for a Community Development Block Grant to start a Certified Nurse Assistant program.

Yankton Area Progressive Growth C.E.O. Nancy Wenande says it’s a way to provide more health care workers…

Wenande says the information for the program needs to filter down to younger kids….

Wenande says they are planning an eighteen month program….

Wenande says those graduating from the program could then look at more advanced medical degrees.
The grant request is for just over two hundred thousand dollars.
