Saint Francis Healthcare System’s Auxiliary held their annual Volunteer Christmas Breakfast at the Drury Plaza Conference Center in Cape Girardeau on December 2. Numerous volunteers were in attendance, as well as members of the Saint Francis Executive Team, Friends of Saint Francis Board members and Saint Francis Foundation board members.
“We consider our volunteers frontline colleagues and part of the Saint Francis Foundation team. We greatly appreciate everything they do to faithfully serve our patients and visitors, help raise funds, advocate and support our mission,” said Saint Francis Foundation Executive Director, Stacy Huff.
Saint Francis recognized Mary Lou Geary as Auxilian of the Year and Sherry Blattel-Dunseith as Volunteer of the Year. The awards are based on years of service and hours volunteered.
During the breakfast, the Auxilians presented a check for $50,000 to Saint Francis Foundation toward the year-end campaign to support technology upgrades for Saint Francis Level III NICU. The funds will be invested in new baby cam camera systems and BBraun Pumps for infant feedings and safe medication delivery.
