Dorothy Ball, Karalee Eltzroth, and Mary Lou Fewell established Michiana Healthcare Training, Inc. with a mission to train and empower area residents as Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs).
Dorothy, Karalee, and Mary Lou made the decision to close Michiana Healthcare Training. To preserve their impact, Senior1Care stepped forward to continue their work, establishing Legacy CNA Training.
Led by Mary Lou’s daughter, Sue McPherren, Legacy CNA Training becomes known as Legacy Medical Academy, proudly carrying on a remarkable legacy while embracing innovation and growth to meet the evolving needs of the healthcare industry.
