Ministry Sacred Heart-Saint Mary’s Hospital recently honored all its volunteers at a luncheon held at Holiday Acres in Rhinelander. Last year volunteers donated nearly 18,000 hours of service in the hospitals by greeting and escorting patients and families, delivering meals on wheels, serving communion to patients, operating a gift shop and gift kiosk, and in other service areas.

All volunteers celebrating a five-year incremental anniversary were presented with a certificate and years-of-service pin.

“We are so fortunate to have so many caring people in our communities,” states Monica Hilt, president of MSHSMH. “These folks give so much of their time and energy and we are truly grateful.”
