The AdventHealth Palm Coast volunteer auxiliary donated $10,000 to AdventHealth Palm Coast, having raised the funds through various activities, such as holiday and gift shop sales.
The donation will support the purchase of new, upgraded wheelchairs that will increase patient’s comfort and improve mobility for volunteers and transportation employees.
“Our volunteer auxiliary team is proud to continue supporting AdventHealth Palm Coast and the surrounding community,” said Tom Sisti, volunteer auxiliary president. “Our team works hard every day to assist with our patients and guests.”
“We appreciate our volunteers and the impact they have on our patients and visitors,” said Wally De Aquino, AdventHealth Palm Coast chief operating officer. “We are very thankful for their generous donation.”
A new study led by AdventHealth University aims to better understand the health and well-being of clergy.
“Inside and outside places of worship, faith leaders play a significant role in the lives of so many people, whether as a shoulder to cry on or a source of inspiration,” said Orlando Jay Perez, vice president of institutional ministries for AdventHealth. “It is also important that their mental, spiritual and emotional needs are addressed, and we hope this study brings more understanding of those needs.”
“Conditions of mental and emotional despair are on the rise and touch so many people,” said Martin Shaw, lead researcher for the study. “While clergy is a somewhat understudied group, it is critical that we gain greater insight about their mental and emotional well-being and ways to mitigate issues where present. Our ultimate goal is to better understand how best to care for and support our clergy and the communities they serve.”
