Staying connected at Northwell Health

Northwell built our alumni network to help strengthen relationships with former team members who have either retired or moved on to other opportunities outside of our health system. Those who join our alumni network gain access to resources and are often invited to alumni networking events as a way to stay and/or one day rejoin our team. Hear from Felicia and Julie who chose to return to Northwell and continue their career journey with us.

Felicia Ramjug – Cardiovascular Technologist

When Felicia first joined Northwell in 2014 as a radiology technologist, she was proud to be a part of the team at Lenox Hill Hospital. After a few years, she transferred to North Shore University Hospital (NSUH) to take on a new role as a cardiovascular technologist (CVT). “Throughout my career in radiology, I always knew I wanted to work in the cardiac cath lab. I was ecstatic when I got the job offer and was able to learn new skills as a technologist and be part of such a vital team.”

Within those nine years, she started a family. It was tough to be a new mom and have a job that required an on-call schedule so she ultimately made the decision to leave Northwell. “

A couple months after she left, Felicia stayed connected with her previous leaders and was offered an opportunity to return as a CVT to support the structural cases that were now being exclusively done in the new Petrocelli Surgical Pavilion at NSUH. “The hours were better suited for my work/life balance. I was able to continue doing what I loved, at a place that felt like home to me with a phenomenal team to support me when I returned.”

Julie Robinson-Tingue – Vice President, Development Communications

Julie first joined Northwell in 2012 as director of public affairs at Huntington Hospital. By 2021, she made the difficult decision to pursue her career outside of Northwell. “I had an excellent relationship with my leader and we had regular conversations about appropriate next steps for my career,” Julie says. “We both agreed that I required executive operations experience to round out my skillset.”

Thinking back to the day she left Northwell in 2021, Julie truly loved the people, mission of service and culture of this organization. She wanted the opportunity to use and share all she had learned to return to the organization that invested so much in her. She made a promise to herself to one day return. Five years later, she had the opportunity to return and assume an executive leadership role at Northwell.

Today, as vice president of strategic communications and donor engagement for the Northwell Foundation, Julie oversees a team of expert communicators who are responsible for tailored communications and stewardship programs for philanthropic donors to Northwell. She says Northwell has set her up for success with collaboration, transparency, growth, learning and mentorship. “All the tools are right here and our leadership team is committed to growing and developing our team members. If you really want to learn something new, there really is no reason why you can’t.”
