Bay Area Hospital is recruiting
Saturday, October 18, 2008 | No comments posted.
Coos County’s largest volunteer group, the Bay Area Hospital Auxiliary, is looking for new members.
Volunteers perform many tasks around the hospital. They staff the two Information Desks, answer the telephones, deliver flowers, mail, cards, and newspapers daily (Monday-Friday). They discharge patients, give directions or accompany folks around the large, daunting hospital to those who are unfamiliar with the building. Other hospital departments that are staffed with volunteers are the surgery recovery room, and the family waiting room.
Applications are available at the first or third floor information desks at the hospital. Volunteers must be in good physical condition, able to pass a background check and donate four hours of time per week. The group is associated with RSVP.
The executive officers for 2008-09 are president Jessica Kitzhaber, president-elect Sherry Domes, Inservice Emma Smith, secretary Joanne Wilskey, treasurer Shirley McAninch, treasurer-elect Cheryl Marshall, Gift Shop Vice president Arlene Rose, and Gift Shop vice president-elect Carolyn Thorne.
The organization’s other efforts include: New Year’s baby basket, the annual Christmas Tree that is decorated and auctioned off for charity at The Mill Casino-Hotel, a Relay for Life team, $1,000 college scholarships awarded to qualifying junior auxiliary members, participation in the Toys for Tots program.
The Auxiliary also sponsors the “Tree of Love” located across from the elevators on the First Floor. The engraved leaves may be purchased for $25 to honor a deceased loved one or to commemorate a birth or other memorable occasion.
The auxiliary also provides colorful fabric bags filled with crayons, books, and toys for hospitalized children and fleece receiving blankets for the Mom’s Program.
The hospital gift shop is operated by the auxiliary and all profits are donated to the hospital to buy needed items that aren’t provided by the hospital. In 2006-07, $45,000 was used to buy a second overhead LCD illuminated picture panel at the hospital’s radiation center and colorful privacy curtains in the emergency and short stay departments.
