Clarice Yenor supports and helps oversee health and occupational care of Walt Disney World “cast members” from all over the world.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Clarice Yenor (\u201973 BS Nursing) helps coordinate care for employees who are world-famous characters and the \u201cspecial people whose job it is to create magic and spread happiness for all the guests coming to Walt Disney World.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI never thought I\u2019d be working for Mickey Mouse,\u201d says Yenor, with a laugh. A nurse with 40 years\u2019 experience, she is manager of Policy and Performance within the Health Services Department of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, based at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla.<\/p>\n

Yenor, who grew up in Milwaukee, became interested in nursing when she was 5 years old and accompanied her dad to the factory where he worked. \u201cAunt Laura,\u201d the industrial nurse there, was a great health counselor and friend to the employees, Yenor recalls. \u201cShe was my inspiration and planted the seed for the work I do now.\u201d<\/p>\n

After graduating from 51ÁÔÆæ, Yenor worked at St. Luke\u2019s Hospital, eventually become a patient care manager in the Oncology Department. When a downsizing at the hospital forced a career change, she was offered a job opportunity at Allen-Bradley\u2019s Medical Department, which brought her full circle back to her childhood dream of nursing at the worksite in an industrial setting.<\/p>\n

Her family\u2019s move to Florida offered additional growth and work experience in worker\u2019s compensation, disability case management and, eventually, a chance to work at Walt Disney in 1995. In 2004, she became the clinical nurse manager in the on-site occupational health clinic.<\/p>\n

In her current role, she supports and helps oversee health and occupational care of cast members, as park employees are called, from all over the world at the approximately 47-square-mile entertainment destination. Walt Disney World has the distinct designation of being the largest single-site employer in the U.S., says Yenor, with more than 65,000 \u201ccast members.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Disney nurses are pivotal in promoting and motivating our employees to improve their overall health,\u201d she says. \u201cWhile we take care of their occupational injuries or illnesses, we can also talk to them about health care concerns they are dealing with. For example, we may assist in referring them to our EAP [Employee Assistance Program] services, or to their personal physician for elevated blood pressure, blood sugar or cholesterol concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognize the value in helping them identify and support lifestyle changes that will promote better health and well-being beyond their work life. That is an exciting part of our nursing role.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yenor is currently serving as president of the Central Florida Association of Occupational Health Nurses, the local branch of the American Association of Occupational Health Nurses. \u201cI strongly believe that a professional nurse needs to be aligned with her professional organization within her specialty. That fosters personal growth and commitment to the field of nursing and to that specialty.\u201d She also serves on the 51ÁÔÆæ Alumni Association Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n

The other side of Health Services at Walt Disney World are the first aid stations in each of the six parks that treat vacationing guests myriad health complaints while they are visiting, Yenor says. The nurses are able to identify and treat minor ailments, or call emergency services if the condition is more serious. \u201cOur nurses have been responsible for saving lives as well as saving well-earned vacations by offering help and treating the guest\u2019s health situations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yenor says the best part of her role at Walt Disney World is the daily experience of coming to work and being able to care for the Cast who make the magic for the guests every day!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the most magical place on earth to work.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
