For anyone considering a career in social work, Christopher John's advice is simple: “Try it.”

The work will continue to evolve as society evolves, so there will always be something to learn or improve. If you’re drawn to helping people navigate tough times, or have a passion for making change, social work may be the calling for you.

“This profession gives back,” Chris says, “not just to the world, but to you, too.”

Here at the Caring Gene® Program, we've always known that strong teams produce the very best outcomes—and that's especially true when it comes to patient safety.

𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 is a reminder that protecting patients is about collaboration. When care teams, patients, and families communicate openly, ask questions, and share responsibilities, safety improves, and so do patient outcomes.

Thank you to the dedicated healthcare workers in Upstate New York who work hard every day with the understanding that trust, transparency, and teamwork save lives.

Hospitals don’t run without hospitalists. And strong clinical leadership inside hospitals matters now more than ever.

On 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐲, we recognize the physicians strengthening care delivery across Upstate New York, showing up for patients when they are most vulnerable. They are steady, and focused. They are deeply committed to their colleagues and their community.

Thank you to our hospitalists for your expertise and your leadership. Thank you for caring when it matters most.

Pharmacy Technicians do so much more than fill prescriptions. They review treatment plans. Educate patients. Support care teams.

The work is clinical. Collaborative. And critical to positive patient outcomes.

If you want to help others without providing direct patient care, consider the impact you can make as a pharmacy technician.

And if you qualify for funding through the Caring Gene® Program, it won't cost you a thing. Learn more: https://hubs.la/Q0453zFm0.

Care isn't just a profession. It's a promise.

A promise made in hospital rooms and living rooms. In clinics and kitchens. In quiet moments when one person needs helps and another steps in, just because they can.

Nurses, social workers, community health workers, counselors, and all healthcare professionals who show up, even when it's hard.

And the millions of unpaid caregivers—daughters and sons, spouses, friends and neighbors—who give their time and their heart to care for someone they love.

Caregiving doesn't always come with a title, or with recognition. But it always matters.

On National Caregivers Day, join us in thanking all those who provide compassionate care to their communities, and inspire us every single day.

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to working in healthcare. Whether you’re brand new to the industry or looking to advance your career, you can focus on opportunities that’ll highlight your strengths and help you make your own unique impact on your patients and your coworkers.

In our latest blog, we provide an overview of the types of service commitment sites for our participants, and what makes each one unique: https://hubs.la/Q043dGZN0.

This is what support looks like.

Career fairs. Networking events. Info sessions. For the entire Caring Gene® team, the goal is real human connection.

We were so excited to meet current participants and other students at the career fair hosted by Maria College. Addressing healthcare workforce shortages throughout our region requires us all to work together, and events like these are a great way to make connections.

Community Health Workers (CHWs) are trusted messengers, advocates, and problem-solvers. They meet people where they are—in their homes, at doctors' offices. They show up for the moments that matter. CHWs bring care to life in a way that's personal, practical, and powerful.

The best part? You don't need prior healthcare experience to become a community health worker. You just need the heart. We'll help with the rest.
