Opening Soon: East Baltimore Resource Center

Last month, we announced the upcoming opening of our East Baltimore Dwyer Scholar Resource Center! In partnership with Southern Baptist Church, the Resource Center will be located at the Mary Harvin Transformation Center.

The Center will provide Dwyer Scholars with resources and tools that might otherwise not be accessible, including job training, life skills programming, financial literacy education, and more.

Scholar Spotlight: Aida Bland & Raquel Fisher

We were honored to have two of our Scholars - Aida Bland and Raquel Fisher - at the press conference to celebrate this announcement. We give great thanks to both for participating in the event. 

Check out the video (skip to 22:10) to hear their stories.

Congratulations!

Join us in congratulating our recent Health Focus graduates for receiving their CNA certifications. We can't wait to see all you accomplish!

Recent Class Visits

Last month, we visited two Dwyer Scholar classes at Lorien Columbia. Check out some photos below!

Our Director of Case Management, Sherna' Barksdale MSW, LCSW-C, is sharing some helpful tips to keep in mind as you work on

becoming a CNA!

• Practice active listening. Take time to listen to your patients, ask them how they are feeling, and actively listen to address their needs.

• Seek a mentor. Consider seeking advice from an experienced CNA or nursing professional to help you along your journey.



• Build positive relationships with your team, as well as your patients. This will help you feel more comfortable when providing care to your patients.
