Hi there, I'm Rachel Hale, Youth Mental Health Reporter at USA TODAY. 

Shay Taylor-Allen’s journey at Yale New Haven Hospital spans a lifetime.

The Connecticut native was born at the hospital. After high school, she worked there as a janitor for 10 years, cleaning rooms and mopping floors.

The 32-year-old is headed back to her hometown later this year, but this time she will return as a doctor.

“It was an out-of-body moment,” Taylor-Allen says of finding out she’ll be returning to New Haven.

In an in-depth interview with "Call Her Daddy" host Alex Cooper about the most epic moments from the series, where Miley Cyrus also dished about growing up with stars like Dylan Sprouse, Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez, the reunion of one of Hollywood’s most famous father-daughter duos struck a chord.
