Tremain Family
Hospitality House
wins national award
Citizens Memorial Hospital (CMH) was
awarded the 2016 Extraordinary Program
Award by the Association for Healthcare
Volunteer Resource Professionals (AHVRP).
Jean Morrow, Project Liaison and Director
of Volunteers at CMH, accepted the award
on behalf of the CMH Tremain Family
Hospitality House at the AHVRP fall
conference in Atlanta.
Since opening in June 2013, the
Hospitality House has become a haven for
patients and family members who need a
safe, restful place to stay during times of
treatment or hospitalization. CMH Auxiliary
members and volunteers raised more than
$560,000 to help build and equip the house
and keep it staffed 24/7.
AHVRP gives the award yearly
to a program that is unique
and original—beyond
regular or established
programs—and
that demonstrates
substantial benefit
to the recipients
and the health care
organization.
