ORMC participates in ‘Vet Connect’

MIDDLETOWN — Orange Regional Medical Center along with Northern Metropolitan Hospital Association (NorMet) and other Hudson Valley hospitals, are participating in Vet Connect – a Web-based initiative intended to raise awareness about the employment and health needs of veterans throughout the Hudson Valley.

This initiative emphasizes hospitals’ recognition of the service veterans have made to this country and hospitals’ commitment in assisting them with their employment and health needs.

Vet Connect offers veterans information on how to transform their military skills to civilian jobs, access to job listings at each hospital in the Hudson Valley region, a catalog of educational institutions that provide health care job training and a list of member hospitals and services offered at each facility.

“Orange Regional is dedicated to providing our veterans with the resources they need to assist them in obtaining employment and meeting their health care needs,” Deborah Carr, Orange Regional’s vice president of human resources, said in a press release announcing the program. “They have made incredible sacrifices for our country and we want to recognize their service by supporting them in ways we can.”

Vet Connect can be accessed via NorMet’s home page at www.normet.org.
