The Annual Hospital Walk For Your Hospital
http://www.walkforyourhospital.com/
Continuing the proud tradition of 75
years of providing comfort and care to the patients, residents
and staff of Haldimand War Memorial Hospital and Edgewater
Gardens Long Term Care Facility.
The 75th Anniversary Year of the
Volunteer Association was a large success.
It started in April with the annual Volunteer luncheon hosted
by the hospital, followed by the annual Penny Sale in June and
the Memorial Rose Garden Annual Memorial Day celebration in
the same month. In July we saw the 75th
Anniversary Dinner held at the Freedom Oaks Golf Course which
lead into the fall with our 3rd "Walk for your Hospital" that
was a grand fundraising event realizing over $40,000.
This is just a sample of the busy year the volunteers have had
here.
President of the Dunnville Health
Centre Volunteer Association Tina DeBoersap salutes all the
volunteers and has the greatest respect for the tireless
dedication they all show to the organization. John
Clarke the new Chief Executive Officer of the hospital is
constantly amazed at how resourceful the organization is in
the fund raising arena. Kim Brooks the Chief Nursing
Officer of both organizations indicates what an "integral part
of the team" the volunteers are and how much we value
their contributions.
The gift shop has expanded to
include Edgewater gardens this past year. The gifts for
the hospital shop always prove to be exciting and the buyers
for the new Edgewater shop hope that the families and staff at
Edgewater will assist in ideas for new purchases for the
residents there. Some plans for 2008 include coming up
with a name for our shop and installing improved signage
so customers are aware that all the profits from our shops go
back to patient comfort within our health centres.
