Wayne Memorial Hospital employees answered the call during March, National Social Worker and Nutrition Month. A donation drive to collect personal care items and cleaning products for the Wayne County Food Pantry was sponsored by the Social Work/Case Worker Department and Nutrition Services. Collection boxes around the hospital were filled with lots of useful and needed products. The drive was initiated by Social Worker Morgan Silfies, and the photo with employees from both departments shows just a small sample of the response from coworkers at Wayne Memorial. The Wayne County Food Pantry is the hospitals first referral source when an individual is in need of food or basic household items. The social work department deals with patients experiencing homelessness weekly in almost all departments of the hospital. According to the PA Department of Community and Economic Development, on any given day over 12,000 Pennsylvanians are known to be homeless across the commonwealth. WMH Social Services Manager Mary Burgio-Terpak, LCSW was not available for the photo but sends out a big THANK YOU to everyone for supporting this endeavor.    Pictured l to r: Mary Beth Nogan, RD, LDN, Molly Repecki, nutrition intern Marywood University, Megan Oliveras, LSW, Jackie Moase, LSW, Sarah Mooney, caseworker, Morgan Silfies, LSW, Megan O’Rourke, LSW, Molly Feakins, caseworker, Lacey Hazen, social services aide, Barbara Griggs-Pratt, MA, RD, LDN, Registered Dietitian and Clinical Nutrition Manager

The 2nd annual Project Search Reverse Job Fair was held at Wayne Memorial Hospital on March 26th. Students were set up in the glass concourse and interviewers were invited to visit and check out prospective employees. It’s a twist on the traditional job fair, with a stationary location for those seeking employment to get the interview experience. The interactive opportunity included each student providing copies of their resume’ for review. Project Search at Wayne Memorial helps challenged youth aging out of high school learn career skills and, hopefully, find gainful employment afterwards. Several of the students have been hired by Wayne Memorial with ready to apply qualifications in several departments.
