Cary Volunteers Recognized at Luncheon

Cary Medical Center volunteers and their guests were treated to lunch, musical entertainment, an awards ceremony and door prizes at the May 10th Volunteer Recognition Luncheon.

Kris Doody, RN, CEO, gave an update on hospital activities and new physician arrivals and congratulated the 40 volunteers being recognized.

Nearly 60 volunteers and their guests were in attendance and enjoyed musical entertainment and a sing-a-long provided by Cary volunteers Alan and Kathy St. Peter.

Volunteers were recognized with hours of service pins in appreciation for their accumulated, donated time. “Our volunteers give so generously of their time to Cary’s patients, visitors and staff.   Many of our volunteers also donate time in and around Caribou and surrounding communities,” said Nancy Bergin, Coordinator of Volunteer Services.  “Our wonderful volunteers help support Cary Medical Center’s culture of caring each and every day; they help define who we are at Cary.”  Cary’s Board of Directors and Auxiliary members also donate an invaluable and significant amount of time to our hospital, Bergin explained.

“Volunteering is beneficial for skill development and it promotes goodness and quality of life. Volunteering has positive benefits for the volunteer and for the person being served,” said Bergin.  “Our Cary volunteers are extraordinary people with incredibly generous hearts.”

“It is an honor to work with such a caring, generous and dedicated group of individuals,” Bergin concluded.

Areas of service include the customer service desk, in-house mail room, Outpatient Rehab, Diabetes office, Speech Office, Nursing Department, Public Relations, Seniority Program, Cary Auxiliary Gift Shop, Cary Auxiliary, Maternal/Child Unit and the Jefferson Cary Oncology Center.

While most of the volunteers reside in the immediate area, many travel from surrounding towns including Hamlin, Mapleton, New Sweden, Stockholm, Limestone, and Fort Fairfield.
