The Brownwood Regional Medical Center Volunteers announced the selection of their January 2016 Volunteer of the Month. During the February 2016 meeting of the BRMC Volunteer’s Executive Board, Lucille Brackett was selected as the January 2016 Volunteer of the Month.
Lucille Brackett joined the BRMC volunteer organization in February 2012. She is a familiar face in the Brownwood Regional Medical Center’s gift shop where she assists BRMC staff members, fellow volunteers, patients, and visitors in the selection of gifts and personal items for their loved ones. Lucille always greets everyone with a friendly smile and is always eager to serve others. She has over 585 hours of volunteer service at BRMC.
The Volunteer of the Month Award is given by the BRMC Volunteers each month during the year. Recipients of the award receive recognition and lunch at the executive board meeting held in the month following the month for which they are selected. Each BRMC Volunteer of the Month recipient is recognized with a framed Volunteer of the Month Certificate, a gift card for a dinner at a local restaurant, and a carrying bag emblazoned with a large heart containing the statement “A Work of Heart.” The carrying bag contains items that celebrate the Texas Association of Healthcare Volunteers motto for 2015 – 2016 “Remember Those Who Cannot Remember; Knowledge Empowers Caregivers.” This motto emphasizes the need to improve everyone’s knowledge of the disease “Alzheimer’s.”The BRMC Volunteers are always excited to meet area individuals who are interested in becoming a volunteer and are actively soliciting new members. If you have an interest in volunteering a minimum of 6 to 8 hours per month, volunteering at BRMC will meet your needs.
