In addition to being president,
Paula currently volunteers in Family
Services. From her station in the
surgery waiting area, she helps
the nursing staff escort families
to the recovery room or meet with
the surgeon, among other things.
These volunteers can also help
connect families with the nursing
staff for help with any concerns or
questions.
“I get my energy by being around
people and helping them,” Paula
said. “I’m sure many of us have
that ability to be there, when
patients or loved ones need to talk
with us or need something. I am
sure I can speak for many of us
in saying we feel so blessed to be
here and are very much appreci-
ated by the staff and community.”
