Kathy Davis, a Chester River Hospital Center Auxiliary Board member, an in-house volunteer and a Gift Shop volunteer at UM Shore Medical Center at Chestertown, was recently recognized as an Everyday Hero by Maryann Ruehrmund – executive director of UM Chester River Health Foundation and liaison for the CRHC Auxiliary – who made a donation in her honor to the Foundation.
Ruehrmund’s gift recognizes Davis’ efficiency and hard work as a volunteer at UM SMC at Chestertown, fulfilling duties such as scheduling and rescheduling CRHC Auxiliary volunteer shifts, screening and interviewing volunteer candidates, training all new in-house volunteers and tracking volunteer hours.
“She approaches difficult situations with the utmost professionalism, is always thinking out of the box and shows extraordinary passion for her responsibilities,” says Ruehrmund. “We are so fortunate to have her as a part of our team.”
The Everyday Hero program provides patients, visitors and staff members with the opportunity to recognize and thank any member or team at UM Shore Regional Health, who made a positive difference in a visit or stay, by making a financial contribution of any size to UM Memorial Hospital Foundation or UM Chester River Health Foundation. Funds received through the Everyday Hero program are used for equipment, capital improvements and staff education in the departments in which the employees or team work.
