BRUNSWICK, Georgia: May 11, 2011 – The Health System honored all
of its volunteers at a special National Volunteer Week Luncheon on Wednesday,
April 13, at the Jekyll Island Historic District Campus. The theme for
the celebration was “Lights, Camera, Volunteers in Action.”
Honored were members of the Brunswick and Camden Campus Auxiliaries, Volunteens,
First Steps Program volunteers, the Therapy Dogs of Glynn, members of
the Brunswick Ministerial Alliance, and members of the following boards:
Glynn-Brunswick Memorial Hospital Authority, Camden Campus Advisory, Cooperative

According to Kristin Doll, director of Volunteer Services, there are 173
volunteers on the Brunswick Campus Auxiliary’s active roster and

March 1, 2010 to Feb. 28, 2011, our Brunswick Campus Auxiliary members
performed 29,127 hours of service to the Health System,” Doll says.
“And according to the Independent Sector, the leading authority
