YNHH Holiday Album 2018

Marna Borgstrom, Yale New Haven Health CEO, joined other senior leaders to welcome employees to the holiday receptions, including Sylvia Tang, RN (left), and Chazani Douglas, RN, Neurosciences ICU.

Former patients added sparkle to both campuses during annual tree-lighting events, sponsored by the Yale New Haven Hospital Auxiliary. Nahlia Castillo, 8, (center) lit up the Hunter Courtyard at the York Street Campus while her parents, Nathanel and Marielys, and big sister, Leah, cheered her on.

During Chanukah Dec. 2 -10, Rabbi Eliana Falk, hospital chaplain, lit the menorah in the York Street Campus Atrium each evening to mark the eight-day Jewish festival of lights.

Every year, Laura Johnson-Dawson, Corporate Access Services (third from left), collects hats, gloves and scarves for patients in need who visit the Primary Care Center. With some of the many donations are (l-r): Linda Marchesseault, RN, Pediatric PCC; Candy Soriano and Paula Neal, Corporate Access Services; and Staci McNeil, RN, Adult PCC.

Camery Thomas, Materials Management, was among hundreds of employees who enjoyed appetizers, beverages and sweets.

PFAS staff members (l-r): Sera Adragna, Rosemarie Reed and Carina Luksas made the short trip from the YSC Emergency Department to a festively decorated cafeteria to enjoy the holiday reception.

Easy to spot in their signature scrubs, nurses took time from their busy night shifts to celebrate, including (l-r): Cassandra Riley, RN, and Gabrielle Malanowski, RN, Neonatal ICU; and Emilio Albornoz, RN, Surgical Intensive Care Unit.

With their Protective Services colleagues keeping an eye out for SRC patients, staff and visitors, officers Rich Diana (left) and Jim Burr took a quick break to enjoy some appetizers at the reception.

Many YNHH employees wear uniforms or scrubs, but Karelys Adorno-Loveless, RN, (left) and Camay Crown, RN, SRC Heart and Vascular Center Cardiac Catheterization Lab, proved there’s always a way to add some seasonal accessories.
