PATIENT CARE TECH TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT

St. Elizabeth Hospital

St. Elizabeth’s Hospital initiates eight-week paid training for Patient Care Techs. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of health care occupations is projected to grow eighteen percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. Health care occupations are projected to add more jobs than any of the other occupational groups but the costs of getting trained for clinical care positions may be higher than some can afford. To help solve this issue, St. Elizabeth’s Hospital developed a new program to create a bridge into the industry. The Patient Care Tech (PCT) program is an eight-week paid training program that combines classroom education with hands-on clinical experience. The program consists of two classroom days every week for four weeks. Time is also spent working on a hospital unit for the first four weeks, followed by a four-week internship supported by preceptors. Upon successful completion of the program objectives, participants will have a position at the hospital. The second cohort will start in April 2019. Applications are currently being accepted and are available online at www.hshscareers.jobs. To learn more about the program email Gorka at Lleyna.Gorka@hshs.org or call 618-234-2120, ext. 12548.

UPSTREAM THEATER PLAY PRODUCTION

Salt, Root, and Roe

Please join us for another US premiere from Upstream Theater, in co-production with Stages Repertory Theatre of Houston, and directed by Kenn McLaughlin. Tim Price's Salt, Root, and Roe is a poetic masterwork about the nature of change, the comfort of home, and the eternal bond of love, set against the mythical backdrop of the Pembrokeshire coast in western Wales. The play centers on identical twins Lola and Anest, who are very devoted to each other.  They are aging fast, and with the time they have together more fragile by the day, they arrive at a desperate decision. Word of this reaches Anest’s daughter, Menna, who rushes to her long-abandoned childhood home where her own ideas of love and compromise are tested to the limit. In spite of its somber themes, the play is light, textured and at times very funny—and in the words of one reviewer “like a pebble picked from a Pembrokeshire beach… something to take home and reflect over, something that evokes a smell of the sea..”

TIME STANDS STILL THEATER PERFORMANCE

New Jewish Theater

Time Stands Still revolves around Sarah, a photojournalist who has returned from covering the Iraq war after being injured by a roadside bomb, and her reporter boyfriend James who is swamped by guilt after having left Sarah alone in Iraq. The two are trying to find happiness in a world that seems to have gone crazy. Theirs is a partnership based on telling the toughest stories, and together, making a difference. But when their own story takes a sudden turn, the adventurous couple confronts the prospect of a more conventional life. Can they stay together amidst unspoken betrayals and conflicting ideals? Playwright Margulies answers these questions, while leaving unanswered qualms regarding the way America deals with war and tragedy coverage. Directed by Doug Finlayson; Cast Wendy Greenwood, Ben Nordstrom*, Jerry Vogel*, Libby Jasper
