Anderson Hospital issued the following announcement on April 22.
We are thankful, grateful and blessed to have an outstanding group of volunteers at Anderson Hospital.
While the stay-at-home order has not allowed them to volunteer on campus in recent weeks, many have donated their time and talents to support us outside the facility. We miss you all and can’t wait to have you back with us again soon!
The Auxiliary has over 200 active members and is an integral part of Anderson Hospital. Volunteers gave nearly 40,000 hours of service to Anderson Hospital in 2019 and raised $76,000. Their annual donations are made possible through the Auxiliary Gift Shop, Medical Alert Service, Fundraising Events, Vending Machine Sales, and the newborn photos program.
Active Volunteers provide direct services to the Emergency, O.B. and Outpatient Surgery
Departments, as well as being “on call” from the Volunteer Office. They manage information desks at public entrances including those at the Cancer Center and Wellness Center. Volunteers are the sole proprietors of our hospital’s Gift Shop managing staff, purchasing inventory, and all inventory management.
“The Auxiliary remains as dedicated and instrumental as ever in the continuing operation of Anderson Hospital,” said Keith A. Page, Anderson Hospital President. “We thank them for their many hours of service and commitment to making a difference in Anderson Hospital.”
