  The Health Unit Assistant (HUA) provides essential administrative and clerical support to ensure smooth operations within a healthcare unit.

The HUA serves as a central point of contact for staff, patients, families, and other departments, assisting with administrative functions, patient flow, and assisting with unit activities.
