Rutherford Regional Auxiliary Receives Five Star Award
The Rutherford Regional Auxiliary recently attended the 29th Annual Conference of the North Carolina Hospital Volunteers (NCHV) held in Greensboro. The theme of the conference was “Volunteers on the Giving and Receiving Train.”
The Rutherford Regional Auxiliary was recognized as a Five Star Award recipient for the 14th year. Each Auxiliary earns points based on the valuable services and activities accomplished during the year, including recruitment, scholarship contributions, implementing new projects, hosting district wide meetings, conducting fund raising events, providing education and development for volunteers, providing community service opportunities such as the Teen Volunteer Program and promoting National Volunteer Week. The Star Award was created to challenge volunteers to perform at a higher level in their volunteer roles.
Each Star level has a different value: For Star 1, the Auxiliary must earn 150 to 174 points; Star 2 must earn 175 to 234 points; Star 3 must earn 235 to 334 points; Star 4 must earn 335 to 384 points; and Star 5 is 385 points and up. The Auxiliary earned a final score of 490 points for its accomplishments during the year.
At the conference, Bobbie Bridges, ICU Waiting chair, was installed as the District 1 Representative for a two-year term. District 1 is comprised of 12 western North Carolina hospital volunteer groups, and she will provide leadership and direction from the NCHV Board as well as to attend their events and activities.
“It comes as no surprise to me to learn that others view our Auxiliary as extraordinary,” said Cindy Buck, CEO of Rutherford Regional Health System. “On a day-to-day basis, I am impressed by the remarkable enthusiasm shared by these fine people as they go about helping us help others at Rutherford Regional. On behalf of the entire organization, I extend to the Rutherford Regional Auxiliary congratulations and appreciation for their continued dedication, care, effort and energy.”
