Volunteers of the year were presented plaques: Front Entrance Volunteer of the Year- Lynda Carnathan; Surgery Center Volunteer of the Year- Barbara Wilds; Auxiliary Volunteer of the Year- Billie Joplin; Chaplain of the Year – Ron Tilley.

“Our volunteers are invaluable to us.  They are, often times, the first individual a patient comes in contact with when they enter the hospital.  They are gracious, helpful and compassionate toward our patients, their families and visitors in times of need.  Each one contributes so much to the care that we provide and the continued success of our facility.  We are grateful for their contributions and were honored to celebrate their dedicated service,” stated Sonya Maye, MRHS Marketing and Public Relations Specialist.
