At the back of the hospital we can see the extension for the emergency department being built. We have to be patient because the completion date will not be before September 2017..

E Town Florist make my photos look extra special. Whenever I tell them that the Hospital Volunteers are having a banquet they let me choose an arrangement to use for the photo shoot.

E Town Florist has a beautiful shop with gorgeous arrangements that make it worth a visit whenever you need a floral arrangement for any occasion.

All these Derby Hats are on sale in the Gift Shop

These lovely lady volunteers, two working in the Gift Shop and one on the Information Desk, were intrigued with the Derby hats that were on sale in the Gift Shop.

I dared them to try their favorite hats and managed to capture the images.

This is a scene from the last meeting
that was held by the volunteers,

Just a few photos illustrating one of the features of the Hospital's new floors. I refer to the inclusion of beautiful photographs everywhere that were submitted by local photographers.

Take A Look Here

The Hospital offered a "thank you free meal" to the employees for the "extra" they did during the recent snow storms. During the meal employees had the opportunity of posing for a photo, individually or as a group.

These folk came to judge the Christmas trees and decorations in the various departments around the hospital. I was allowed to follow them with my camera.

They had a big job ahead of them with all there was to eat, and all the hot chocolate that they had to drink.

I left before their final judgements. I'm glad I didn't have to choose what was best. Everything seemed so wonderful.

The Christmas Season Is Upon Us.

The Gift Shop Christmas display was set out by the ladies in this photo. It truly was a major task organized by Tricia, the Gift Shop Manager who was assisted by hospital volunteers and a helpful relative.

Thank You Mary.

This is Mary Routt, one of the hospital volunteers who has taken it upon herself to show up every week on a set day to work in one of the hospital's waiting rooms for 4 hours.

Happy Days.
Tricia Payne, the manager of the Hospital Gift Shop, gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Of course I had to use that excuse to get my camera out. They do make a lovely photo. Just click on a photo to enlarge it.

Harmonicas For Therapy

At the last quarterly meeting of the hospital volunteers a vote was taken to authorize funds for the purchase of harmonicas that would be used for breathing classes.

I attended a class and took a few photos

The newly installed Auxiliary Board of Directors with the Gift Shop Manager and the Director of Volunteers.

On Friday, 16th of May, The Hospital Birthplace acknowledged the work and good deeds of its supporters.

Not only do they crochet 1,400 baby hats in a year, but they donate all kinds of items that are needed by the Birthplace. Some also donate generous sums of dollars.

Anyone wishing to donate or help can call Pat Armstrong at 270-765-2819.

See Photos From The Event.

Mardi Gras Photos

On Tuesday, 4th of March, I set up my camera in the lobby and took photos from 10.00 am till 2.00 pm. I want to take this opportunity of thanking those hospital employees and volunteers who got in the spirit of the day and let me take their photos. It all takes time and effort, not just the photographing but all the computer work etc.

So thank you again to those of you who made it all worth while. You are appreciated.

Stock Taking

Stocktaking is a major function for the Volunteers' Gift Shop. It requires a lot of coordination as far as finding enough participants is concerned. It's done twice each year. Above we see Phyllis Brandenburg and Linda Peters scanning items from the gift shop shelves.

The photo below shows Tricia Payne, the gift shop manager, busily sorting items to be counted.

The Gift Shop

The gift shop is operated by the hospital volunteers and the profits provide thousands of dollars that are donated for good causes.

We look forward to the opportunity of serving you and supplying many items that are not available anywhere else in Hardin County.
