The KSB Volunteers gathered today at our annual volunteer's luncheon in celebration of their service to our organization - a small "thank-you" for the time and endless support they provide to our patients and employees. We also take this opportunity to honor the commitment and dedication of one exceptional volunteer with the Nate Johnson Volunteer of the Year Award. This year's recipient is Volunteer, Linda Poole. Linda has quite a history at KSB - as both a former nursing student and employee, after retirement Linda returned to her "work home" and gives back in countless ways. She is an active member of our Print Shop and her smiling face, and bubbling personality offer great joy to patients and staff when she's making her deliveries. She also donates her time while providing regular blood pressure checks at the Rock River Center in Oregon. Her nominator wrote, "Linda's love and dedication to KSB shines through in every action she has, whether on campus or representing KSB in the community!"
