Sharing Our Stories
We’ve been collecting and SHARE’ing stories throughout the pandemic, including this profile of Annette Machunsky from last year, who describes her work as a Specialty A/R Coordinator (photo: Candace Tauson)
Thank you to all SHARE members for your perseverance through the pandemic. Although infection rates are declining, we know that doesn’t mean your work has gotten easier. Just how are we doing? And how are SHARE members getting through all of this? To help tell the story of what’s happening on the front line as part of the SHARE’d Stories project, we’ve recently put the spotlight on:
Tenille Dudley, a Medical Assistant at Lincoln Primary Care, and
Denise Page, who currently works as a Medical Office Assistant in the Primary Care Clinic. (She also volunteers with the National Disaster Medical Services Medical Assistance Team, and worked for many years in the University campus ED.)
2021 Central Massachusetts AFL/CIO College Scholarships
This year’s scholarship opportunity has been announced, and the deadline for application is May 1. The lottery for these scholarships is open to any SHARE members, as well as children and grandchildren of members, who will graduate from high school this year and attend college next year. Recently, SHARE has been well-represented, with winners for the past several consecutive years. We hope to see more this time! Read here for more details about the award and how to apply.
Parking at University Campus – A Misery
If you park at University campus, the last few weeks may have been pretty miserable for you. Just a quick post to let you know that SHARE leaders have been collecting your concerns and experiences and urging the hospital management to try to solve them. As you probably know, the Medical School manages the parking on University Campus, so that makes everything more complicated.
Please visit this post to see the list of concerns SHARE has met with management about.
It looks like Medical Center leadership is trying to fix as many of the problems as they can, by working with the School. You have probably seen their list of what has been fixed so far in their message from last week.
