Loma Linda University Adventist Health Sciences Center honors volunteers
The volunteer services of Loma Linda University Medical Center and Children’s
Hospital held the annual Volunteer Recognition Celebration on April 25,
in Wong Kerlee International Conference Center. Denise Winters, director
of volunteer services/information desks, rang in the evening of “Volunteers:
Honor, Courage, Commitment,” with the appropriate words, “We
are here to celebrate volunteers!”
The banquet took place at the end of National Volunteer Week, April 21
to 27. “Our volunteers truly do provide us with an example of courage,
commitment, unselfish giving, caring, and sharing,” says Ms. Winters.
In fitting manner, the program began with the help of two volunteer groups,
the Clement Middle School acapella group under the direction of Rita Stevens,
and the Redlands High School Air Force Junior ROTC color guard.
The singers, all seventh and eighth graders, performed four songs with
American themes. The award-winning choir was followed by the presentation
of the flag, and led the audience in the National Anthem.
W. Augustus Cheatham, MSW, vice president for public affairs, LLUAHSC,
presided as master of ceremonies for the evening. “I’m always
amazed about anything I hear from your department,” comments Mr.
Cheatham. “It’s always good news.”
After a dinner of vegetarian lasagna, garden salad, and an assortment
of desserts, the core of the program got underway with the recognition
of Florence Innocent. Ms. Innocent’s retirement came after 30 years
of volunteer service. Also recognized for their hours of service and retirement
were Polly Davis, and Sandy and Sylvia Pickard.
The Mended Hearts program celebrated its 25th anniversary at LLUMC at
the banquet. Irv Sanford, president of the LLUMC chapter, accepted an
award of recognition, while Lavaun Sutton, historian of the group, introduced
Jeanece Varndell, assistant regional director of Mended Hearts. Ms. Varndell
told how the organization started in 1951 and how their goal has remained
unchanged.
“It’s great to be alive and help someone,” Ms. Varndell
says.
