CPH Auxiliary Members Honoured With Ontario Volunteer Service Awards
In March, six of HPHA’s amazing volunteers were recognized with Ontario Volunteer Service Awards. The awards were handed out by the Honorable Michael Chan, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade during a special ceremony at the Arden Park in Stratford.
These six outstanding volunteers are members of the Clinton Public Hospital Auxiliary and combined have dedicated over 70 years of service to improving the patient experience.
“Shirley, Linda, Grace, Ann, Kathleen and Joann are wonderful examples of the impact one’s gift of service can be to our staff and patients. They each have unique talents which have helped the volunteer program at the hospital flourish,” says Cheryl Hunt, Corporate Lead Volunteer Services.
Awards were presented as follows:
35 Years of Service
20 Years of Service
10 Years of Service
5 Years of Service
- Linda Dunford
- Grace Koehler
- Joann Walker
“I joined Clinton Public Hospital Auxiliary after retiring from full-time nursing. I enjoy volunteering so that I can be with people and meet new people,” says Linda Dunford. “I understand the need for volunteers in health care and I am thankful that I can "give back" to our community”.
“2015 marks 95 years of volunteer commitment at the Clinton Public Hospital,” states Hunt. “We are so grateful to each and every volunteer who shares their time and talents to improve the patient experience. Our group in Clinton is exceptional. They are dedicated to their roles in the following areas; special events, gift shop and clinical support programs including the information desk, orthopedic clinic and eye clinic.”
