Showing Appreciation to “Jennie Volunteers”

2018 National Volunteer Week is April 15-21. At Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital (www.jehfoundation.org), Healthcare Volunteers are celebrated during the month of April through various events and recognitions. The annual Auxiliary General Meeting will be held at Ameristar, where we many Jennie Volunteers who have given thousands of hours of their time in many areas throughout the hospital will be recognized. In 2017, 292 active volunteers accumulated 24,560 along with participating in 137 events throughout the year. The 45 Teen Volunteers accumulated 3,883 hours and also helped with various events during the year.

Throughout the month of April, each hospital department will also show appreciation to volunteers in special ways to say ‘Thank You’ for all they do throughout the year.

Volunteerism is a very selfless way to give back to the community. If you are interested in getting involved, please consider contacting Jill Killion, adult volunteer coordinator and Jillian McIntosh-Carnes, teen coordinator for more information.
