Homeowner Ana and her son with William Casey, Executive Director, Habitat for Humanity and Michael Holmes,
Senior Vice President, Operations, Yale New Haven Hospital.
Yale New Haven Hospital was awarded the
2017 Foster G. McGaw Prize for Excellence
in Community Service from the American
Hospital Association. The McGaw Prize is
awarded annually to a single healthcare
organization that provides innovative
programs that significantly improve the
health and well-being of its community.
There's nothing more vital to health
than the vitality of community.
When you see a row of neatly trimmed yards and children happily playing, it's a sign of a healthy community.
Yale New Haven Hospital is committed to helping more families own a home where they can grow and prosper
in a stable, supportive environment.
Through our partnership with Habitat for Humanity, nearly 500 Yale New Haven employees helped to build 10 Habitat
homes – all sitting proudly in The Hill neighborhood. Additionally, the hospital's Home Ownership Made Easy (HOME)
program has enabled close to 150 employees to become first-time homeowners in the City of New Haven. Our
neighborhood programs are another example of our commitment to caring beyond the bedside.
