1/30/12 — Yale New Haven Hospital recently awarded three $1,000 Martin Luther King community service awards to New Haven students who are setting examples in their communities. YNHH's service award program honors the legacy of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., by providing scholarships to eligible high school students, as well as grants to New Haven elementary schools.
The award recipients must live in New Haven, attend a New Haven public school and have performed in excess of 40 hours of uncompensated community service. While students may volunteer at any agency or church in New Haven, this year's awardees all happen to volunteer at YNHH.
The three students, all seniors, chosen this year were:
"This program is very well received in our community because it focuses on the contributions of students — on the ‘heart' they bring to their communities," said Patricia Worthy, RN, manager, Workplace Diversity. "We think these awards capture the spirit of Martin Luther King and what he meant when he said he dreamt of a day when his children could be judged by the ‘content of their character.'"
