YRMC honored their volunteers at Children’s Museum
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Yuma Regional Medical Center (YRMC) honored their volunteers with a unique experience and an award ceremony.
The ceremony was to give thanks to those who take time out of their lives to help out the hospital in areas the need help in.
The ceremony occurred at the Children's Museum on Sunday, April 30 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.
YRMC said that their volunteers, ranging from 15- to 90-years-old, "contribute in so many ways." These include:
- Driving courtesy carts for patients and families
- Working in the gift shops
- Creating flowers and delivering cards to patients
- Assisting at blood drives
- Providing patient services, such as a book cart or beverage cart.
- Providing support in departments like the NICU, finance, print shop, HR and more.
YRMC also said that their volunteers share one commonality: "A giving spirit and desire to connect with others in the community."
"They are probably one of the most dedicated and giving volunteers, and always providing the heart of service. Anything that they do, every single day, is really earned recognition for just being that...is being a wonderful and dedicated volunteer," said Elizabeth Hammonds, Director of Volunteer Service at YRMC.
Hammonds further added that the volunteers are "the heart of YRMC."
