Northwest Health Celebrates Service During National Volunteer Week
4/17/2024
Northwest Health is proud to celebrate National Volunteer Week April 21-27. This annual celebration honors the service of volunteers who selflessly give their time, energy and resources to support the health system’s mission of providing quality healthcare to the community.
“Volunteers are an integral part of the hospital and we are fortunate to have many compassionate individuals living our mission of serving our patients and community,” said Rick Naegler, chief executive officer at Northwest Health.
The volunteers support our hospital system in areas, such as information desks, registration, intensive care and surgery waiting rooms, providing community grants and scholarships through the Auxiliary gift shops and thrift store sales and numerous other services. During 2023 alone, approximately 175 volunteers provided more than 51,000 hours of service to Northwest Health. And Northwest Health has planned an appreciation luncheon to recognize our volunteers.
“Through dedication, compassion and generosity, volunteers make a significant impact on the lives of our patients and their families,” said Nancy Stewart, volunteer services supervisor at Northwest Health. “National Volunteer Week is an opportunity for us to express our gratitude and appreciation for all they do.”
We invite the community to join us in celebrating National Volunteer Week and thanking our volunteers for their remarkable contributions. Additionally, we are always looking for new volunteers to live out our mission of serving with the greatest care and love. Volunteers make a difference and we welcome the difference you'll make. If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering, contact us at (479) 757-4106.
