In honor of Social Work month each March, Yale New Haven Hospital’s social workers donate to a local non-profit organization. This year, during a special lunch for staff, the department presented its donation to New Reach, which provides housing assistance to more than 3,500 Connecticut residents each year, including more than 2,000 children..
