Wilborn is employed by Mt. Vernon Countryside Manor. The Outstanding CNA of the Year award, presented by Southern Illinois CNA Educator's Association and SIU-C Nurse Aide Testing Center, recognizes excellence in professionalism, competence, compassion, reliability, and trustworthiness. Her contributions to the community made her a stand-out to receive this award. 

RLC Nursing Instructor Sarah Hopfinger said, "The CNA Conference was a fun and interactive day focused on caring for the resident with Alzheimer's disease. The participants participated in activities that placed them in the shoes of the resident. This real-life experience was extremely eye opening and helped them better understand the residents under their care."

Congratulations goes out to Wilborn and everyone who made the annual CNA Conference possible.
