Our latest Northwell Community series focuses on Northwell’s VALOR BERG (business employee resource group) and its support of the veteran community and the professional development of its members. WPIX’s Mr. G discusses the impact of VALOR with Northwell team members Victoria Hagemann, MSW, social worker at Zucker Hillside Hospital, and Craig Washington, director of distribution operations at Northwell Health and veteran. Through VALOR, these two peers were able to connect on the common interest of serving those who have served our country. Their connection has developed into a friendship and partnership as they work together with the rest of VALOR’s members to find ways to engage military personnel and help bridge the path to workplace reintegration. Learn more about their professional and personal development by watching this video.
