Jameson Volunteers Honored

The invaluable contributions made by the 349 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.

Linda Cody-Jaskolka, 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. 

Thomas White, 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 45,501 hours of service for the past year. 

Guest speakers included Diana Whitaker, Guild past president and chairperson on the Capital Campaign Committee, and Robert McGann, DO, orthopedic surgeon.

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 admitting 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.
