Vail Valley Medical Center Volunteer Corps board installs several new officers

VAIL — The Vail Valley Medical Center Volunteer Corps recently held its annual board of directors’ installation at Vista Restaurant in Arrowhead. The event brought together board members and volunteers to honor the Volunteer Corps’ mission of “supporting the highest level of compassionate patient-centered care at Vail Valley Medical Center facilities.”

Debby Jasper, president of the Volunteer Corps board, thanked the volunteers and board members for their outstanding contributions during the past year. She applauded their efforts with volunteer recruitment, profitable fundraising events, increased sales in the medical center gift shop and community outreach assistance.

“Our vision statement to provide a meaningful volunteer experience and to be recognized as the best volunteer opportunity in our community defines the success of the VVMC Volunteer Corps,” Jasper said.
