Christiana Care Health System

Proudly Supporting Our Service Members and Veterans

Christiana Care honors and recognizes service men and women

who have served in the United States Armed Forces. You have served your country with loyalty and integrity. And

now, we want to honor your service.

We strongly believe that the men and women of our Armed Forces possess unique and diverse skill sets that they bring to

our workplace. Your leadership, problem-solving and teamwork skills are true assets to the health care environment.

Audrey Van Luven, senior vice president and chief human resource officer named Honorary Commander of Delaware National Guard

“I am humbled by this appointment,” said Van Luven. “I am passionate about supporting our military. Our active military and our veterans bring skills and values that can benefit employers, businesses and industries across the board. We all should be looking for ways to advance our military in the workforce.”

With Van Luven’s leadership, Christiana Care is committed to helping veterans,

transitioning service members and military spouses find meaningful employment

opportunities.

Warrior Friendly Business Award

Over the past two years, Christiana Care has hired more than 60 veterans. In recognition of this support for military veterans, the health system received the Warrior Friendly Business Award from the State of Delaware, the Northern New Castle County and Central Delaware Chambers of Commerce, the Delaware Workforce Investment Board and the ESGR.

The Patriot Award recognizes Christiana Care's support to employees who serve in the U.S. Military.

The Patriot Award was created by Employer Support for Guard & Reserves (ESGR), a Department of Defense office, to recognize individuals who provide outstanding support to employees who serve. According to ESGR, the award “reflects the efforts made to support Citizen Warriors through a wide range of measures including flexible schedules, time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families and granting leaves of absence, if needed.” Sgt. Jason Graham of Christiana Care’s Department of Public Safety received the Patriot Award from the Delaware Employer Support of Guard Reserve (ESGR) in recognition of his support of military personnel.

Celebrating Veterans Day

Blake Collins, Director of Clinical Engineering, U.S. Navy

Extraordinary People - Having retired from the Navy I fully understand the qualities that Service members bring to the work place. They typically come with a very good work ethic that any department or work group would be thrilled to replicate. Military personnel have been trained to work toward efficiency, ask for guidance when needed, and exercise self-discipline in professional settings. Hiring managers looking to create the exceptional experience should consider military candidates because of their past experience of increased productivity and strong motivation.

Sam Wetherill, Director of Pharmacy Operations, U.S. Army

Exceptional Experience – Working for the military has provided me the opportunity to work with people from all over the world in a variety of environments. My experiences have been tremendously beneficial with understanding the unique needs of every patient. Leveraging this experience, we can truly work to provide an exceptional patient experience and advance the Christiana Care Way.

Richard Brackett Human Resources Specialist U.S. Air Force

Strategic Partnerships - I can think of no greater resource of extraordinary people for CCHS to tap into than veterans and our currently serving National Guard and Reserve forces. They bring a wealth of real world experience and technical knowledge that will further advance the Christiana Care Way. There is no greater testament to service before self than serving your country wherever you are needed. By developing strategic partnerships with former and current service member organizations we can enable these individuals to continue to serve local communities through Christiana Care employment.

The fortitude and resilience service members and veterans have exhibited in the military can be leveraged here at Christiana Care.

We respect your dedicated and disciplined approach to getting your job done. We admire your unique experiences and ability to perform

under pressure in extraordinary circumstances.

Your dedication and commitment enables you to partner with our neighbors and each other to fulfill the promises of
