YNHH Medical Staff donates $10,000 to local Habitat for Humanity

For the past several years, Yale New Haven Hospital and the YNHH Medical Staff have partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Greater New Haven, donating money and volunteer time to help build homes for first-time homeowners. YNHH will be sponsoring two more Habitat homes on Vernon Street in the Hill neighborhood later this year – and employees and members of the Medical Staff are encouraged to volunteer on Habitat homes. More information will be shared this fall about volunteer opportunities.
