Liz Fitka

Community Health Aide

Liz Fitka is one of our Health Aides in Marshall. She works for Yukon Kuskokwim Health Corporation which is located in Bethel, Alaska. Her instructor is Elena Nelson. The training that is required for her job is: yearly CPR Courses, Patient Training Education, Emergency Trauma Training, Pre-session, Session 1, Session 2 and Session 3, and preceptorship. She has also completed the GED program and now has her diploma.

Most of the time she works with Ruth Fitka and Nora Tikiun, the other Health Aides in the clinic. She works six hours a day, five days a week helping people and taking care of them. Her four basic responsibilities are: daily monthly logs, filing records, doing medication orders, and keeping things confidential. She enjoys working with people, helping them and meeting new people. She doesn't have anything that she dislikes about her job, and comments, "Maybe in the future I'll know what it is."

If you want to become a Health Aide, here's a little advice from the woman who knows. "Do a lot of studying in school, mainly math and science. Also study the anatomy of the human body and its functions."
