On Wednesday, April 24, more than 400 volunteers and Presbyterian Healthcare Services (PHS) staff members gathered at Hotel Albuquerque in Old Town to celebrate the 2018 contributions of our volunteers. In addition to current volunteers and PHS management and staff, we welcomed past Volunteer Services Board members, PHS senior leadership and Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation staff. Special thanks to Rick Scott, Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation (PHF) President, and Dale Maxwell, PHS President and CEO, for their words of kindness and appreciation for our volunteers. We would also like to thank the many PHS departments and community businesses – more than 100 groups in all – for their generosity in donating an assortment of items to our prize-drawing portion of the event (for a full list of donors, please see “With Gratitude” on
page 2). Also, thank you to the PHS and PHF staff members who helped out with a variety of tasks throughout the “Wizard of Oz”–themed event. Again, we thank our volunteers for the invaluable services and support they provide. We look forward to working with each of you throughout the coming year.
