Yuzon took his staff, including Rivera, with him to Mercy Hospital in 2015. ![]() ![]() Rivera's externship at Lorain County Health and Dentistry became a full-time job after she graduated. "It also helped me understand more about my own family's health problems." "I was a little overwhelmed at first, but I studied hard and learned all the medical terminology, which helped me understand the conversations between doctors and nurses," Rivera said. Rivera said her JVS instructors put her at ease and gave her the confidence she needed to succeed. I chose a career in health care for their sakes as well as my own." "My mother, brother, my four children and I all have asthma, too. "My sister, Rebecca, died from an asthma attack when she was 17," said Rivera. That worried Rivera at the beginning of the nine-month Medical Assisting Program, but she had many reasons to persevere. "I could read and write in English okay, but didn't speak it as well," said Rivera, a single mother looking for more meaningful employment than her steady diet of fast food restaurants provided. Rivera was not fluent in English when she moved to Lorain from Puerto Rico in 1993. It's important to be kind, compassionate…to help anybody in any situation." "With Lorain County's large Hispanic population, I know I can make a difference, even if it's just translating. "I'm the first face they see when they come through the door, so I smile a lot," Rivera laughed.
