The Lane Regional Medical Center Auxiliary donated $15,000 to the hospital during its annual luncheon on August 8th.
Auxiliary president Velita Benjamin presented the check to Lane Nursing Home administrator Tamika Lipscomb. Funds will be used to purchase much needed special equipment for the nursing home residents.
“I am extremely proud of our work during this past year,” said Benjamin. “It is especially rewarding to know that in addition to serving patients and families on a daily basis, the results of our fundraising efforts are being put to good use where they are needed most throughout the hospital.”
CEO Larry Meese thanked the group for their volunteer services and praised their on-going fundraising efforts which include Gift Shop sales, Popcorn Fridays and special events such as Jewelry Shows, Book Fairs and Bake sales.
