About ZANDU HEALTH INITIATIVE

Zandu Health Initiative is a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that delivers workforce training and support for entry-level healthcare roles, with a focus on Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Trained Medication Aide (TMA) programs. The organization operates hybrid and in-person classes and offers ancillary services used by employers and job-seekers (for example TB screening/Mantoux and related pre-employment health checks).

Zandu received its tax-exempt designation in 2014 and is listed with state oversight as a training provider; recent organizational filings (fiscal year ending June 2024) show active program activity and revenues reported for continuing operations. The organization serves immigrant and community learners and reports placement outcomes and employer partnerships as part of its program model.
