Emanuel to Honor 300 Volunteers
TURLOCK, CA (April 28, 2006) - Emanuel Medical Center is treating nearly 300
volunteers to a catered lunch Saturday as it caps off a week of honoring
the people who donate their time.
"They are really what makes the difference at the hospital," says Regina
Amador, director of volunteer services. Illustrating her point, Amador
notes the hospital benefited over the last years from the services of
544 volunteers, who worked 47,726 hours and raised $161,520 for the
hospital.
" We really want to honor our volunteers," says Amador. During the
course of the week, the hospital has handed out cookies and flowers to
the workers.
Amador views the volunteers as more than just workers. "I love my job;
it's wonderful," says Amador. She likens working with a wide age range
of people to having a lot of grandparents, parents, siblings and children.
