| L-R: Probst and hospital CEO Eva Benedict |
WELLSVILLE, NY (October 1, 2018) – M. Gretchen Probst is the
latest name to be added to the Jones Memorial Hospital Life Associates plaque
in the main hallway at the hospital. Lifetime Associates are donors who have
made financial gifts to the hospital totaling $10,000 or more.
“I’d like to thank Gretchen for her commitment to the
hospital and for her support – both financially and as one of our most
dedicated volunteers,“ said Eva Benedict, CEO at Jones. “She has donated
thousands of hours in service to this hospital.” Shortly after retiring 15
years ago, Ms. Probst – at the urging of her friend and “volunteer mentor”
Kathryn Gilbert – joined the ranks of JMH Volunteers. Her first position was in
surgical services, but she missed the sunshine and soon moved to the reception
desk in the main lobby, where she plans to stay for years to come.
“This town needs this hospital,” she said, explaining why
she gives both her time and money to Jones Memorial. “I have had two surgeries
and have received excellent care from everyone here. This is a great hospital
and we are lucky to have it in our community.”
