The Memorial Health System Volunteer Corps was awarded the
Gold Award of Excellence for the twenty-fourth consecutive year at the annual
joint convention for Kansas Hospital Association (KHA) and Hospital Auxiliaries
of Kansas (HAK) in September.

included their involvement in health-related community service programs such as

booth at the Central Kansas Free Fair, membership recruitment, recognizing hospital
personnel, promoting National Volunteer Week, and offering a health information
program to the community such as Healthwise 55.
