Letter: Add training for home health care

By Greg Flakus, Vancouver
Published: August 22, 2023, 6:00am

I have been reading a lot about the crisis in home health care. There is a demand for services that far exceeds the supply. One solution being suggested is to get into career and technical education schools like Cascadia Tech Academy a program that allows students to train in this and get certified to provide these services. With even more adults needing care, the demand will only continue to rise.
