Guild donates $10,000 to hospital
On Tuesday, Nov. 8, the Putnam County Hopsital Guild held its annual fall luncheon. The event was open to all Guild members to attend, with special guests Putnam County Hospital CEO Dennis Weatherford and Putnam County Hospice and Palliative Care Association Director Elaine Peck.
During the luncheon, the guild presented Weatherford with at $10,000 check to Putnam County Hospital. Weatherford stated that part of the money would be used for a wheel chair scale. These scales allow wheel chair bound individuals to not have to move from their wheel chair onto a scale. This will make it easier for the patients and caregivers when trying to obtain weight.
The Putnam County Hospital Guild is a charitable organization dedicated to assisting Putnam County Hospital in carrying out its mission and improving the lives of its patients through service and fundraising. This organization is open to both men and women interested in this type of community service, and is currently actively seeking new members.
The guild is composed of an all-volunteer staff with the same mission in mind — to better the patient experience at Putnam County Hospital. The volunteers staff the gift shop, located just inside of the main hospital entrance, volunteer at the information desk at the Medical Office Building, and also hold several fundraising events such as scrub sales, book fairs and popcorn sales, every year. All of the funds raised at these events are invested back to Putnam County Hospital.
Serving on the Putnam County Hospital Guild not only supports our local hospital, it also is a group of caring individuals who support each other with friendship and fellowship throughout the year.
The 2022-23 board of directors includes President Brenda Heacock, Vice President Anita McEnulty, Recording Secretary Sharyl Berry, Corresponding Secretary Beth Dodds, Gift Shop Treasurer Regina King, Gift Shop Scheduler Kay Thomas and members at-large Doris Knauer, Jackie Sutherlin and Ella Marie Torr.
“We want to thank each and every guild member for their hard work and dedication,” PCH Director of Marketing and Community Relations Brooke Trissel said.
Anyone interested in becoming a Guild member is invited to stop by Putnam County Hospital or reach out to one of the listed members.
