“Volunteers Build a Better World” was the theme as Maine Coast Memorial Hospital recently honored their volunteers with an appreciation breakfast at the Ellsworth Ramada Inn. The total of all volunteer hours for the year at Maine Coast Memorial Hospital was 11,388 hours performed by 106 volunteers. An amazing feat! Volunteers were recognized at the event for reaching a new 100-hour milestone. Director of Volunteer Services, Stacie Brown states, “Volunteers not only build a better world, but make Maine Coast Memorial Hospital a better place for patients, visitors and employees. Our community exercise instructors volunteer hundreds of hours a year keeping our community members strong and healthy. Where would we be without them?” Bob Merrill, Chair of the Board, and Jack McCormack, Interim CEO were present along with Volunteer Director Stacie Brown and Jane Sanderson who manages the special events to thank the volunteers for their tireless service to our community.
