Hey all,

I’m currently in training to become a Home Health Aide (HHA) in New York and I have a physical exam coming up that includes a drug test.

Since THC is legal in NY, I’m a little confused about how that works with healthcare jobs. Do HHA programs or employers still test for THC, and can it affect getting hired even though it’s legal?

If anyone has gone through this recently or knows how strict they are about it, I’d really appreciate the insight.

Thanks!
