Disability Employment

Booz Allen Hamilton, a multi-national management consulting firm headquartered in McLean, VA, is sponsoring a pro bono project to promote employment opportunities for people with cognitive disabilities in the Washington, DC-area healthcare sector.

One project objective is to inform regional healthcare organizations about model employment programs that successfully place individuals with cognitive disabilities in semi-skilled hospital positions—sterilizing equipment, laying out instrument trays and stocking supplies—that traditionally have heavy turnover rates. “One model program, Project SEARCH (www.cincinnatichildrens.org/svc/alpha/p/search/default/htm) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, has demonstrated the business case for hiring these loyal, productive employees, “state Bob Rudney, a Booz Allen project director. “Project SEARCH also initiated a pilot program in Ohio nursing homes.”

The Healthcare Council supports this initiative and encourages you to contact Bob Rudney at 703-465-2645 or rudney_robert@bah.com. Booz Allen is undertaking this project in support of ServiceSource, Inc., a rehabilitation service provider located in Alexandria, VA.
