Every summer, several University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing pediatric acute/chronic nurse practitioner students finish their clinical rotations with a six-week experience at HHI. This summer, HHI hosted three students for this experience: Erin Bennett, Mariel Colella and Katie Fowle. The students, advanced practice nurses, were paired with a specific HHI shelter and developed nutrition and fitness plans based on needs identified by the HHI staff and shelters. This collaboration between HHI and the students served as a first step in expanding HHI’s obesity prevention project into other shelters.
HHI thanks the many leaders who are returning, and we welcome our new leaders for 2010-11: Tiffany Lin, MD; Phillip Brinton, DDS; Emily Eilerman, DDS; Natalie Stinton, Bridget Remming and Samantha Rozzell.
HHI would also like to thank our outgoing leaders: Ben Sahn, MD; Julia Endrizzi, DDS.; Justin Bloom, DDS; Allison Clark, DDS; Jeanette Bowles, MSW; Alisha Nash, MSW; and Adela Smith, MSW.
On behalf of the families we serve, thank you for your generosity of time, talents and energy. We wish you the very best!
