Volunteers with 750 and 1000 hours of service
St. Luke’s Hospital recently honored volunteers with a luncheon. Honoring St. Luke’s Hospital volunteers is a way of saying ‘Thank you!’ to the selfless men, women, and young people who embody the American spirit of caring for one another.
The volunteers honored for 500 Hours of Service were Janet Cannon, Jeane Helms and Fran Tatnall. Honored for 1000 Hours of Service were Teddi Johnson and Leo Tarpley.
A sincere appreciation is extended to all volunteers who share their time and talents so willingly on behalf of St. Luke’s Hospital.
Volunteers with 250 and 500 hours of service
Did you know that originally, our St. Luke’s Hospital Auxiliary members wore yellow smocks when working in the hospital? Later they learned that the American Hospital Association’s official uniform for nurses’ aides was a cherry red. This led to the peach smocks you see now and the name Cherry Smocks.
It’s easy to overlook the importance of volunteers because they rarely sing their own praises; yet they change so many lives. Honoring St. Luke’s Hospital volunteers is a way of saying ‘Thank you!’ to the selfless men, women, and young people who embody the American spirit of caring for one another.
Those volunteers honored for 250 Hours of Service were Libby Boone, Alicia Brewington, Irene Draper, Julie Fike and Kathy Watson.
