Jameson Volunteers Honored

April 15, 2009 - The invaluable contributions made by the 358 volunteers of Jameson Health System were brought into the spotlight with a Volunteer Recognition luncheon at Jameson South Conference Center in celebration of National Volunteer Week.

Rosemary Rennard, Volunteer Coordinator, welcomed the volunteers to the delicious lunch prepared in their honor thanking them for their dedication to the Health System throughout the years.

Randy Ferguson, Director of Public Relations opened the celebration commending the volunteers who give the gift of time to Jameson.  Time, one of the most precious gifts given by volunteers “make a difference every day” to Jameson and all those touched by Jameson.

Doug Danko, President/CEO, welcomed the volunteers and thanked them on behalf of the boards of directors, the physicians and the employees.  He expressed his appreciation for their dedication and personal commitment to assist Jameson in being a quality healthcare facility.  The volunteers are a powerful force tirelessly giving 52,282 hours of service for the past year. 

Ten year old Maxine Malvar entertained the guests with a rendition of songs.

Whether volunteers are comforting patients, assisting at wellness clinics, staffing the gift shops, sewing, delivering patient mail, escorting patients, providing directions or working behind the scenes assembling patient information packets, their contributions are endless.

Jameson’s volunteers come from all walks of life and their motivation is driven by their enthusiasm to make a difference in the community by volunteering at Jameson.  They have a heart filled with compassion for their fellow mankind.  Volunteers make a difference every day.
