Bates County Memorial Hospital is proud to have the opportunity to recognize the valuable service of its’ Volunteer Auxiliary and Chaplain’s staff at a recognition luncheon held on April 24, 2012.
With 31 members, the Auxiliary contributed 10,000 hours of voluntary service to the Hospital. Through their scholarship program, the Volunteers awarded $10,000.00 in educational scholarships. The Volunteers purchased approximately $8200.00 in equipment and items for various hospital departments. The Hospital is proud to recognize LOUISE FISHER as its Volunteer of the Year 2011.
With three current members, the Hospital also recognized the selfless service of its Chaplains serving as volunteers for the Spiritual Care Services. The mission of the chaplains program is to provide spiritual support and quality pastoral care to the patients, families, and staff of the hospital, observing the highest standards of compassion and professionalism, and respecting the faith systems of all. By their presence and empathy, the volunteer chaplains are a powerful reminder of the healing, sustaining, guiding, and reconciling power of faith.
