D’Youville University

The Staff Development Office, in conjunction with the Community Relations Department, provides a monthly staff education series where we welcome physicians and other healthcare experts to speak on a wide range of medical topics. This valuable employee benefit includes a complimentary lunch and constitutes one (1) Contact Hour for each program. We also extend this opportunity to staff from outside nursing facilities for a fee of $5.

These programs fill up quickly, so we ask that you make a reservation in advance. Please contact Jeanne Giannasca, RN, Director of Staff Development, at (978) 569-1000, extension 2622, or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
