Congratulations are in order for ENGLISH @ WORK’s newest graduating class! We were thrilled to welcome nine employees at St. David’s South Austin Medical Center to our growing group of E@W alums during a fun (and tasty!) graduation ceremony yesterday.
This hardworking team studied diligently over the past six months to gain greater English proficiency in service positions that ensure patient comfort and satisfaction at St. David’s. They consistently impressed us by their active participation in class and continue to bring smiles to patients as they apply what they learned in class out on the floor of the hospital.
St. David’s supervisors Victor, Anna, and Mauricio saved special recognition for Segunda, a housekeeper who maintained perfect attendance throughout the entire program. Segunda’s participation in all 72 hours of the course sequence (!!) has enabled her to engage patients and their families in new ways and is yet another reason we feel so fortunate to work with such motivated people through E@W.
Big thank you to Bob Williams and Gail Acuna who are part of St. David’s Academy for Clinical Excellence. They have always been so supportive and continue to advocate for both their employees and E@W. Also, thank you to the supervisors and to our students for always reminding us that hard work truly does pay off. Our St. David’s graduates are proof of it!
Keep up the amazing work!
