To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter of recommendation for Charles Alexander Frank. Charles came to
Community Health Connection in the spring of2009 and volunteered to work here
translating English to Spanish for our Spanish speaking patients during his summer
break. He volunteered over the summer 2-3 days/week 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. He
always does what he says he will do and is capable of achieving anything he sets out to
do. During his time as a nursing student at The University of Oklahoma he has been
active in the Student Nurses Association (elected fundraising and community service co-
chair and serves on the social committee); raised funds and provided three local families
in need with Thanksgiving dinner; organized a letter writing campaign to Marines in
Afghanistan; and organized fellow nursing students to do the 15 K Tulsa Run. His actions
show that he is community-minded and dedicated to making the world a better place.
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. Charles 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
communi ty".
I highly recommend Charles Frank for the Daughters of the American Revolution
Scholarship. Charles exemplifies the values of community service, volunteerism,
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. Charles is a good student and in
my opinion, he will continue to excel in the Nursing Program at The University of
Oklahoma. It is my privilege to give Charles Frank this recommendation. Please call me
if you would like any further information. I can be reached at 918-622-0641.
Sincerely,
