Navigators at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children

Student Interns:

Hannah Lee, Josh Neal, and Meghan Schilken

Hannah Lee

For our storytelling project, Josh, Meghan, and I interviewed a community health worker at St. Chris. During our interview, one quote from her that struck me the most while describing her roles and responsibilities was “Be someone who you needed.” While talking about her job as a community health worker, she also told us moments of her life that compelled her to be involved in the community in this manner and the positive impacts she has been able to make with families in need at St. Chris. Upon reflection, she found that growing up she and her family would have benefitted from having a similar support system. Hence, she strongly recommended for us to “be someone who you needed” in other people’s lives in order to have a positive impact on the community we serve (and will be serving in the future).
