Volunteers find their way to ARHS for a myriad of reasons. Long time WMC volunteers Elaine & Jim Jones have been volunteering since 2003.
Jim holds degrees from both Elon College, East Carolina University and took graduate classes at UNC-CH. He was a professor at ASU for forty years in the accounting field. Jim was also a tennis coach and athletics director. So it is no surprise why Jim enjoys his volunteer role. “I have always been an active person and when I retired I needed to continue this” states Jim on why he decided to join the volunteer program at WMC. “Volunteering gave me the chance to have the activity I needed and use this time to help at Watauga Hospital in some small way. I currently work in the Pharmacy and get lots of exercise walking to deliver materials needed all over the hospital.” Jim’s co-workers in the pharmacy truly value his service and consider him to be an important part of their work team.
Both Jim & Elaine have given many hours and years to WMC and are an integral part of the volunteer program.Hats off to this wonderful couple and many thanks for striving to really make a difference in the lives of our patients, staff and families.
