Ah, the holidays: When employees throughout Yale New Haven Health deck the halls (and nursing units and offices); give generously to neighbors in need; and, yes, break out the ugly holiday sweaters. Are you and your coworkers doing something to make the season bright for patients, visitors, fellow staff and the community? Send your photos to

Perspectives and on the YNHHS employee intranet. Yale New Haven Hospital staff (literally) spruced up the Yale New Haven Psychiatric Hospital courtyard for the holidays. The project was funded by the YNHH Auxiliary’s “Van Grow” committee, which promotes the power of nature and art to transform community spaces into healing environments. Helping with the planting were (l-r): Jacqueline Crenshaw, senior manager, Diagnostic Radiology/Breast Imaging;, Cristina Trancreti, manager, Rehabilitation Services, YNHPH; and Myla Tsapar, volunteer coordinator, Volunteer Services.
