Copley Health System Board Chair Elizabeth Rouse and Copley’s President Melvyn Patashnick expressed their gratitude to the more than 120 active volunteers who provide valuable service to Copley at a special volunteer appreciation breakfast held April 26th. Patashnick thanked the many individuals who dedicate their time and energy to do so much for so many while serving as ambassadors for Copley and the communities we serve. “We thank you all for your time and dedication, 17,000 hours is a tremendous gift to our community hospital,” he said. Volunteers representing the hospital, Gift Shop and Second Chance Thrift Store participated in the event. Community members from Hospital volunteer boards were also present, including Rouse and System Board trustee Nancy Putnam, and Copley Foundation committee members Polly Manosh and Lisa Hunt.
