Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon

In honor of National Volunteer Appreciation Week, our Volunteers Services Coordinators, Heather Davis and Christopher Miedowski, hosted a Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon at Oak Ridge Church in Salisbury, MD. Volunteers enjoyed a catered lunch, Smith Island cake, door prizes, chair yoga, and sound immersion lead by Chrissy Erhart of Zenna Wellness Studio.

Each volunteer was recognized with a certificate of appreciation in recognition of their compassionate support and partnership that enhances the quality of life of our patients and families through volunteerism. Various department and team leaders were present, along with volunteer services staff, to thank our volunteers for all that they do.

Three of our volunteers, Maggie Miller, Patient Care; Marie Calafiura, Patient Support ; and Fred Puente, We Honor Veterans, received the Jean Camie Jackson Heart of Hospice Award for their outstanding dedication and commitment to Coastal Hospice.

The Heart of Hospice Award is named after one of Coastal Hospice’s founders and most beloved volunteers, Jean Camie Jackson.

We were honored that the Honorable W. Newton Jackson III, Jean Camie Jackson’s son was able to be there again this year to share his Mother’s story and support our beloved volunteers.

At Coastal Hospice, we are grateful for our group of volunteers, who every day share their time and gifts with patients and families, as well as the rest of the organization.
