Expanded Scholarship!
This scholarship is a proven way to help home care aides advance their careers, tell their stories of what caregiving means to them, and highlight the difference it has made in the lives of their patients. -William A. Dombi, President of NAHC

CellTrak, the provider of the industry’s leading mobile point of care and field force management solution for home care, personal care, and hospice, announced today an expansion in their previously announced scholarship program with the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC).
The newly expanded scholarship program will provide additional funding opportunities for home health aides, during the COVID-19 crisis across the country, while supporting the recipients along their career journey.
“This scholarship is a proven way to help home care aides advance their careers, tell their stories of what caregiving means to them, and highlight the difference it has made in the lives of their patients,” says William A. Dombi, Esq., President of NAHC. “America needs to hear from the people who provide care to our most vulnerable citizens.”
November is National Home Care & Hospice Month, a time to celebrate and recognize the practice of home care, and all of the individuals who make it possible. Part of this month’s planned celebrations include one week, November 8-14, focusing solely on home care aides. Home care aides are vital to our health system transformation and this newly expanded scholarship program will give even more recipients an opportunity to advance their careers within the industry.
Each week during November, two scholarships will be granted to deserving home care aides. During the week of November 8-14, Home Care Aide Week, two scholarships will be granted each day for a total of twenty, five hundred-dollar scholarships over the course of National Home Care & Hospice Month.
“With the impact of COVID on our industry, we realized our commitment to the scholarship program for 2020 needed to be doubled, to 20 scholarships! In March, many of our home care aides found themselves forced to make tough choices, and yet they remained at the forefront of caring for our family and friends in their homes. Because of their dedication, we want to recognize and support their efforts in continuing a career path as a homecare hero!” Andrew Kaboff, Founder of CellTrak
This is the first year a home care aide-specific scholarship program has been offered through the National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Aides awarded with scholarships will be announced in November 2020.
