Shay Taylor once cleaned patient rooms at Yale New Haven Hospital. In June, she’s returning — as an anesthesiology resident.
After advocating for her mother’s care while working here, Shay found her calling to become a physician. Years of persistence, night shifts, and hard‑earned degrees later, her journey has come full circle.
Her Match Day reaction has inspired audiences nationwide and reminds us that determination can transform lives.
Welcome home, Dr. Taylor.

Shay Taylor is returning as an anesthesiology resident, and her emotional match day video is going viral.

March is Child Life Month. Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital gives a shout out to Charlotte Beales, certified child life specialist, who made a meaningful connection with a patient, Lily.

Charlotte shares, “A few years ago, Lily was scheduled for a procedure, her mom and I talked on the phone where she expressed concern of Lily’s anxiety in hospitals. During the conversation, I discovered Lily has a love of animals. On the day of the procedure, I met the family outside the hospital with our facility dog, Reina. Lily was so excited to meet Reina, her anxiety was eased and she helped me walk Reina into the hospital. Her dental procedure went well and her family was thankful.”

Recently, Lily’s mom reached out to share that since that visit, every time Lily passes a sign for Yale New Haven Health, she yells, “I love Yale New Haven! That’s where Charlotte works!” The three arranged to meet for lunch so that Lily would have the opportunity to have a “fun” visit without having to do any hard jobs.

Thank you to Charlotte and the whole Child Life team who make a big difference in our patients’ lives and experiences in the health care setting.

Today, younger individuals – both men and women under age 50 – are being diagnosed with colon or colore**al cancer. It’s a disturbing trend that is raising more questions than answers.
“Unfortunately, we are seeing more and more young patients with a diagnosis of colon and re**al cancer, not only in our practice but across the country as well,” said Daniel Lavy, MD, a colore**al surgeon at Bridgeport Hospital and assistant professor of Surgery at Yale School of Medicine. “The ‘younger population’ includes those individuals diagnosed under the age of 50.”
Today, the lifetime risk of developing colore**al cancer is 1 in 23 for men and 1 in 25 for women, so men in this younger population have a slightly higher incidence of mortality when compared with women in the same age group.
“It is important to note that both sexes are at significant risk of developing colon and re**al cancer,” he said.

Colonoscopies save lives.
They’re the most effective way to prevent colore**al cancer by finding and removing polyps early—before cancer develops. Request your routine colonoscopy screening appointment online: http://ynh.care/1dL.

If there’s one thing Philip Hynes of Shelton wants people to know, it’s this: Don’t be afraid of a colonoscopy. It might save your life.

Hynes already knows the excuses people make when putting off a medical procedure or appointment: I’m too busy. It might hurt. I feel fine, so why do I need to go? He used some of those excuses himself.

“I wasn’t avoiding it out of fear,” he said. “It just wasn’t a priority – until suddenly it was a priority.”
