JoanieThomasSeptember2016The Brownwood Regional Medical Center Volunteers are pleased to announce the selection of their September 2016 Volunteer of the Month. During the October 2016 meeting of the BRMC Volunteer’s executive board, BRMC Volunteer Joanie Thomas was introduced as the September 2016 Volunteer of the Month.

Joanie Thomas joined the BRMC Volunteer Organization in July of 1969. She is one of the few remaining active BRMC Volunteers that were members when the BRMC Volunteer Organization was formed in 1969. Joanie currently volunteers in the ICU Waiting Room volunteer service area, where she assists patient family members while their patient is in the intensive care unit located on the second floor of BRMC.

Her goal is to meet the needs and expectations of the brmc staff, patients, and visitors while they are in the BRMC intensive care unit. Joanie has accumulated over 7,800 hours of volunteer service at Brownwood Regional Medical Center.

The Volunteer of the Month Award is awarded 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.

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, BRMC volunteering will meet your needs.
