Fundraising, providing scholarships, supplying essential comfort items to patients, and offering their time to our hospital in a variety of functions are just a few ways they contribute.

Volunteer Brenda Garner knit 75 purple caps for each baby born in November at CCH to recognize The Period of Purple Crying. Scholarships Are Available The Florence B.

A lift When You need one 14 | W i N t E R 2 0 1 2 Sometimes the walk from the parking lot can seem quite long, especially if you’re not feeling well. One key function our volunteers provide our patients and their family is transport services from the parking lot. The next time you need a lift, look for the covered golf cart, with one of our volunteers, such as Larry Aiken (pictured above), ready to assist.
