BELOIT, WI. (May 19, 2022) — Beloit Health System’s Volunteers in Partnership (VIP’s) are happy to celebrate a multitude of accomplishments this past year. The annual Appreciation Luncheon is a tradition we were excited to host once more for our volunteers. It is our way of saying thank you to the volunteer organization from everyone at Beloit Health System.
The event celebrated all health system volunteers and the many services they provide. Flowers, laughter, and a champagne glass garnished with a fresh strawberry, are always integral to the celebration, in addition to the accolades and delicious meal. The annual event attracted 90 volunteers to
The Beloit Club. They honored Twenty-six volunteers reaching five-year increments of service (and a total of 430 years of dedication), each receiving a service pin. Longtime volunteer, Wilma Dotter was recognized for 45 years of dedicated service to the organization. Susan Staudinger with 40 years and Leila Henning with 35 years of service were also honored for their loyal service. In addition to honoring all our dedicated volunteers we made a special note to recognize our VIP President, Richard Johnson, who will be retiring from his position in June 2022.
“Our VIP’s are critical to the success of the Beloit Health System.” states Tim McKevett, Beloit Health System President and CEO. “They touch the lives of our patients, their families and our staff every day and their commitment and dedication is truly appreciated.”
In addition to valuable services throughout the health system, the volunteer organization provides important financial support through the gift shop, VIP Grille, book fairs, linen sales and more.
If you are interested in volunteering, the hospital invites you to find out more by calling Michelle Penny, Volunteer Coordinator at 608-364-5162. The health system continues to offer flexible volunteer opportunities for people who would like to offer their time and talents.
