Local volunteer group donates wellness equipment to BJC
Thanks to the generosity of the BJC Medical Center Auxiliary, the
BJC Wellness Center now has three new exercise equipment options
to offer clients.
Operated strictly by volunteer workers, the BJCMC Auxiliary mem
bers donate countless hours assisting BJCMC in various ways. Their
fund-raising efforts of the Wishing Well Gift Shop, as well as hosting
a range of other fund-raising sales and activities, have been used to
purchase state-of-the-art hospital equipment, enhance patient care and
support other employee activities.
This year’s Christmas Sale allowed the auxiliary to donate three
new pieces of additional exercise equipment to the BJCMC Wellness
Center located at 615 Hospital Road. The president of the auxiliary,
Edna Hix, recently presented a $2,000 check to Tom Durham, director
of the Wellness Center. for the purchase of a Life Fitness recumbent
bike, incline bench press and a lower abdominal stand.
“We give our time and effort to help raise money for BJC Medical
Center and Nursing Home projects for which other sources of funding
are not available,” said Edna Hix, auxiliary president.
“The auxiliary plays a critical role and the volunteers are all an impor
tant part of the BJCMC Team,” said Hospital CEO, Jim Yarborough.
“In addition to providing volunteer services and fund-raising, they
help unite the hospital with the community. We are very fortunate to
have the selfless support of these truly dedicated volunteers.”
To join the BJCMC Auxiliary Volunteers, contact Edna Hix at
706-335-1199 or visit online at www.bjcmc.org/auxlink5.html.
