Local Kadlec volunteer appointed to national Committee on Volunteers

The American Hospital Association board of trustees has named Meg Fallows of Kadlec Regional Medical Center to its national Committee on Volunteers.

Across the country, volunteers play key service roles to hospitals of all sizes. Not only do they provide compassionate and patient-centered service but they also contribute thousands of hours of their own time to help meet the needs of patients.

Fallows oversees about 800 volunteers at Kadlec, including dozens of high school aged students and the 350-member hospital auxiliary.

Fallows has been appointed to a three-year term to provide her community perspective on issues related to the health care field. Her appointment begins Jan. 1.
