MARTINSBURG, W.Va. – In celebration of National Volunteer Week, WVU Medicine Jefferson Medical Center and Berkeley Medical Center recently hosted luncheons to honor all volunteers, auxilians and chaplains who provide support to hospital staff, patients, families, and the community.
On April 8, the Jefferson Medical Center volunteers, auxilians and chaplains were honored during a luncheon hosted by hospital administration in the 1st floor conference room. The Berkeley Medical Center volunteers, auxilians, and chaplains were treated to a luncheon at the Hilton Garden Inn on April 11.
As part of both annual luncheons, volunteers were recognized for hours of service to the medical centers over the past year. Members of the hospital auxiliary, the organization that plans fundraisers in support of the hospitals, were recognized for the financial support they provide the hospitals. The chaplains were honored for their volunteer efforts in providing spiritual support for patients, families and staff.
In addition to recognizing the volunteers for their efforts year round, National Volunteer Week is also an opportunity for Berkeley and Jefferson Medical Centers to create an awareness of volunteer opportunities within the hospitals.
