The bill, S. 1191, is a Senate Resolution that designates May 28, 2026, as "Level Up Elevate SC Day" in South Carolina. This recognition highlights the essential role of Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) in providing compassionate care across various healthcare settings, including hospitals and long-term care facilities. The resolution emphasizes the growing demand for well-trained CNAs in light of workforce shortages and an aging population, and it underscores the importance of improving CNA training to enhance patient outcomes and strengthen the healthcare system.

The resolution also acknowledges the efforts of the Level Up Healthcare Academy, which aims to advance workforce development by equipping individuals with the necessary skills and professionalism for high-quality care. The Level Up Elevate SC initiative seeks to bring together educators, healthcare professionals, and community leaders to elevate standards in CNA education and promote excellence in caregiving, ultimately benefiting residents and supporting quality care for vulnerable populations.
