Judy Grabow joined the BRMC volunteer organization in March 2011. She is a familiar face in the Brownwood Regional Medical Center’s intensive care waiting room, as well as, the emergency room waiting area where she assists patients, their family members, and visitors during their visit to the Brownwood Regional Medical Center. Judy’s goal is to make a visit to the medical center as pleasant as possible.  She has accumulated over 396 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.
