To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter of recommendation for Charles Alexander Frank. Charles came to
me at Community Health Connection in the spring of 2009 and volunteered to work here
translating English for our Spanish speaking patients during his summer break. He joined
us in May and has been a wonderful asset for our clinic. He is very bright, personable,
motivated to learn and achieve, reliable and has incredible enthusiasm. He has gotten
along exceptionally with all of our staff and patients. He is a very fast learner and
professional in every way. Charles Frank has a strong work ethic, he is punctual and
always willing to assist in any area he is asked. Charles performs well as a team member
and leader at our clinic.
Community Health Connection is a Federally Qualified Health Center. We see patients
from all walks of life, all ages and provide them with primary health care, prenatal care
and behavioral health care. During Charles' time with us he has been an asset to the
organization in many ways. He is bilingual in Spanish which has been extremely helpful
with our client population, 80% of whom identify themselves as Hispanic. With his
Spanish Degree and study abroad experience he has shown to be very skilled in the
Spanish language and culturally competent. He has translated verbally for our providers
who do not speak Spanish and translated several documents into Spanish. Charles has fit
in well at Community Health Connection and is helping us fulfill our mission of
"Providing quality and accessible health care across all life cycles regardless of ability to
pay which respects the dignity and culture of our community".
I highly recommend Charles Frank for the Zarrow Scholarship at The University of
Oklahoma College of Nursing. Charles exemplifies the values of community service,
leadership, giving and caring for those who are less fortunate, His excellent
communication skills, organizational skills, internal and external customer relation skills,
and his work ethic will serve him well in any situation. In my opinion, he will excel in the
Nursing Program at The University of Oklahoma. It is my privilege to give Charles Frank
this letter of recommendation.
