“Trinity Hospital Twin City Recognizes Volunteers”

DENNISON—During a special volunteer appreciation and recognition luncheon, Trinity Hospital Twin City honored all members of the Trinity Hospital Twin City United Volunteer Auxiliary. Additionally, eight volunteers were awarded service pins in recognition of their years of dedicated service to the hospital, and two volunteers were lauded as volunteers of the year.

                Volunteers received service pins for anniversary milestones earned in 2015, and the group recognized represented a total of 50 years of volunteer service to the hospital.  Marilyn Bagley and Martha Roudebush of Dennison; Christy Walker of Gnadenhutten; and Bill Hilliker and Carol Ross of Uhrichsville were honored for five years of service. Betty Colvin of Uhrichsville was recognized for 25 years of service.

                Trinity Hospital Twin City United Volunteer Auxiliary President Emillie Blackwood presented Volunteer of the Year awards to Carolyn McCoy of Gnadenhutten and Debbie Heddleson of Tuscarawas.  McCoy has been a hospital volunteer in the coffee bar and gift shop for three years and also serves as auxiliary treasurer.

                Heddleson has also volunteered at the hospital for three years. She helps to staff the coffee bar and gift shop, and she occasionally assists the hospital’s marketing department. Heddleson serves as assistant treasurer of the auxiliary.

 “They are very organized and always willing to help in a number of ways,” noted Blackwood of McCoy and Heddleson. “They do everything with a smile and are great representatives of our hospital.”

                “We are so thankful  for all of our volunteers,” shared Blackwood. “Without their dedication and hard work, we would not be able to assist the hospital in funding much-needed equipment for patient care.”

                Community members of all ages are welcome to join the Trinity Hospital Twin City United Volunteer Auxiliary. Opportunities are available to volunteer for as little as one shift a month to several shifts a month. Officers of the United Volunteer Auxiliary include President Emillie Blackwood of Gnadenhutten, Vice Presidents Jan Thomas of Gnadenhutten and Barb Besozzi of Scio, Treasurer Carolyn McCoy of Tuscarawas, Secretaries Helen Gordon of Tippecanoe and Connie Colvin of Dover, and Assistant Treasurer Debbie Heddleson of Tuscarawas.
