To a young person, there's nothing more motivating than a goal and the guidance to achieve it. For dozens of New Haven high school students, goals have become rewarding careers with the support and guidance of Yale New Haven Hospital. Our School-to-Career program gives students in area high schools a unique opportunity to get hands-on training from Yale New Haven Hospital professionals, preparing them for their own careers in health care. The program, a combination of volunteer and paid internships, is a first step to college and vocational training that has led to rewarding jobs throughout the healthcare industry, including right here at Yale New Haven. It makes us proud to know that we have played such a vital role in their success through School-to-Career. It's another example of our commitment to caring beyond the bedside. ynhh.org/community Priscilla Torres, Patient Care Associate, Yale New Haven Hospital and graduate of the School-to-Career program with mentor Nancy Busch, Patient Services Manager, 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.
