DeTar Healthcare System Celebrates Volunteer Appreciation Week with Volunteer Luncheon on April 24
4/25/2025
In celebration of National Volunteer Appreciation Week, DeTar Healthcare System honored its dedicated volunteers with a special appreciation luncheon held on Thursday, April 24. The annual event recognized the generous individuals who give their time and talents to support patients, staff, and the overall mission of DeTar Healthcare System.
Volunteers at DeTar Healthcare System play a critical role, supplementing the services that staff members provide to patients, their families and guests. They also play a key role in patient satisfaction, adding a special dimension of personal service and care to those they serve. Volunteers can be found in almost every department at DeTar, greeting visitors, directing patients, performing interdepartmental errands, operating DeTar’s two gift shops and delivering flowers and cards to patients. Volunteers donate thousands of hours each year to our hospital in an effort to enhance the patient experience. They provide support throughout the hospital, staffing the information desk, delivering mail and flowers, operating the gift shop and escorting patients.
Volunteer Appreciation Week is observed nationwide to recognize the invaluable contributions of volunteers in communities across the country. At DeTar, it is a time to express gratitude to those who selflessly serve, offering comfort, support, and a helping hand throughout the hospital.
During the luncheon, DeTar proudly recognized volunteers who have reached significant milestones in their service including Mary Amador, Dora Arembula, Betty Gill and Georgia Wallace, all of whom received pins for their 20 years of dedicated service to our hospitals.
“Our volunteers are the heart of our hospitals,” said Sarah Hoerig, marketing & volunteer coordinator at DeTar Healthcare System. “Their compassion and commitment makes a real difference every single day. This week—and especially today—we want them to know how truly appreciated they are. If you are interested in learning more about volunteering at DeTar, please stop by the front desk at either DeTar facility to pick up a brochure on volunteering.”
