Happy Holidays
Interim Medical Center Director Message
 
Darlene Delancey, FACHE Interim Network Director
Happy Holidays to all our wonderful volunteers.

And thank you for the kindness and generosity you have bestowed on our patients throughout the past year.

Without you we would not have been able to enhance the quality of life
of our patients and provide them the companionship and activities that help them manage daily with their medical and physical disabilities.

As you can see from the photos throughout this newsletter your thoughtfulness in providing your time and money to such varied programs and social engagements enables patients to experience fun, food, music and special events throughout the year.

Again I want to wish you a happy, healthy and safe holiday season and a wonderful New Year. Sincerely, Darlene A. DeLancey, M.S. Interim Network Director
