Congratulations, School at Work graduates

On Aug. 9, eight Yale New Haven Hospital employees graduated from the School at Work (SAW) program. SAW is a seven-month program that teaches math, medical terminology, writing, time management and other subjects to employees who want to get ahead in their careers, pursue a new position or further their education. This year’s graduates also took the Hartman Value Profile assessment, which measures a person’s thinking style, and worked with an organizational development consultant to review results and determine next steps toward their goals. Graduates were (l-r): Christine Pofok, mental health worker, Celentano 1; Allison Parkes, Catering to You associate, Food and Nutrition; Allison Carter, clinical technician, Verdi 5 East; Beatriz Perez, patient care associate, EP 7-5; Carine Pierre-Louis, business associate, Observation unit; Ami Patel, corporate access SVC representative; Robin Billie, mental health worker, Celentano 1; and Raymond Allen, instrument tech, Sterile Processing.
