Posted Date: 12/3/2024
Vandalia Health’s Mon Health Medical Center proudly announces the graduation of the fourth cohort of its Mon Pathways to Success program. Founded in 2023, the comprehensive program empowers individuals experiencing homelessness, recovery, or those who have difficulty re-entering the workforce.
The latest cohort of graduates are Debra Ellison, Housekeeping; Samantha Bierer, Pre-Access Specialist; Bryan Glenn, Peer Recovery Coach; and Joseph Choma, Maintenance Technician.
In addition to providing free transportation and a meal program for participants each shift, the Mon Pathways to Success program delivers monthly professional development workshops, career counseling, mentorship, and experiential education to encourage personal and career growth. Graduates completed an intensive six-month educational curriculum covering a wide range of topics including financial literacy, professional development, career pathways exploration, health and wellness, benefits understanding, and local resources awareness.
“Mon Health is thrilled to congratulate the latest graduates of the Mon Pathways to Success program,” said Amanda Jeffreys, Recruitment Specialist for Mon Health System. “Their dedication and hard work have proven fruitful, and they should take great pride in their personal and professional growth, as only a select few make it through this program. We are excited to continue supporting their journey and look forward to their ongoing success within our organization.”
The Mon Pathways to Success program was initially supported by a $75,000 donation by the Hazel Ruby McQuain Charitable Trust and additionally funded in 2023 by a $493,000 award from the Appalachian Regional Commission.
