"Every Room Has a Story" - Eileen Hansen & John Carubia - Yale New Haven Hospital Volunteer Services

In this heartfelt conversation, host Dave McNiven sits down with Eileen Hansen, Senior Manager of Volunteer Services at Yale New Haven Hospital, and John Carubia, a volunteer patient aid whose own health journey inspired him to give back. Together, they share powerful stories of resilience, the impact of volunteerism, and the connections that transform hospital care.

From John’s recovery after cardiac arrest and a pedestrian accident, to Eileen’s leadership in rebuilding one of the nation’s largest volunteer programs post‑COVID, this episode highlights how every patient, volunteer, and staff member carries a story worth telling.

Listeners will hear about the scope of Yale’s volunteer services—from patient aid and ambassadors to music visitation, teaching kitchens, and Reiki healing—and discover why, as John says, “Every room has a story.”
