Mary Jo Bishop: PCA and Aspiring Nurse

Mary Jo Bishop heard about CVHHH through a friend, Alex Boguzewski. Alex, a Jack of All Trades, works at CVHHH as a Personal Care Attendant, or PCA, Telemonitor Technician, and Community Health Worker. He’s also a member of the East Montpelier Fire Department.

Mary Jo is passionate about helping others. She is currently training to become an Emergency Medical Technician, or EMT. Check out Mary Jo in her EMT uniform. While Mary Jo works as a PCA at CVHHH, we are helping her pay to take a course to earn her Licensed Nurse’s Aide, or LNA, certificate. All PCAs are eligible to apply for tuition reimbursement support.

Mary Jo says that she loves working at CVHHH because she loves being with people. “I love being there for my clients, and I love helping them with activities like meal preparation, light housework, dressing, and companionship. I cherish the connections I make with my clients.”

We support Mary Jo and her colleagues take courses and obtain advanced degrees and specialized training. We want our staff to put down roots at CVHHH, and we know that it’s our responsibility to support their career needs. This is better for our staff. It’s better for our patients.

All PCAs, regardless of their experience, will earn $15/hour starting minimum wage. This is another sign of our commitment to our staff. It’s a formal acknowledgement of the value of their work and the impact it makes in the community and for our clients.
