There are so many dimensions to the work we do at Hillside! In our most recent podcast, I was privileged to sit down for a conversation with two members of our Health Care Services team—another critical area that contributes to the interdisciplinary care we provide to youth, adults and families.
Our Health Care Services department is comprised of more than 100 staff, most of whom have chosen nursing as a career and a passion. At Hillside, Registered Nurses, Nurse Managers and Licensed Practical Nurses collaborate every day with direct-care teams in our residential treatment and community-based programs—making regular connections with youth on our campuses, in group homes and in the community, to ensure that each individual’s varied needs are met.
Every day as a Hillside nurse is different than the one before: Our nurses must be multi-faceted, bringing an active mix of professional skills along with emotional intelligence and a passion for working with youth who have experienced trauma.
As Ann Cott, our Executive Director of Health Care and Integration Services, mentioned in the podcast, part of what drew her to Hillside following years spent as a nurse in a hospital setting was the opportunity to expand her skills and enjoy new areas of professional growth. Ann calls Hillside “a unique and interesting place to be a nurse and build your career,” and I couldn’t agree more.
If you’re an RN or LPN, I hope you’ll consider joining our team. Hillside is hiring for a variety of specific placements in different programs and locations in the regions we serve.
