Breylin Jones, New Haven Promise scholarship recipient and talent acquisition sourcer, Yale New Haven Health.
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.
Putting college degrees,
and New Haven's future, in their hands.
Encouraging young people to attend college can help to ensure them a successful future for the vitality of New Haven. Through
our support for New Haven Promise, Yale New Haven Hospital is helping city youth make the dream of college a reality.
The Promise program offers scholarships covering up to 100% of a student's college tuition. The key to success is that
Promise creates a culture of college readiness by requiring high-schoolers to maintain high grades and good attendance,
while participating in a minimum of 40 hours of community service. This year alone, 359 New Haven students received
scholarships to colleges throughout Connecticut.
Higher education makes for stronger communities and engaged citizens ready to tackle the future. At Yale New Haven Hospital,
we believe in that future and the young people who will shape it. Which is why we're proud to support Promise. It's another
example of our commitment to caring beyond the bedside.
