Stewart Memorial Hospital in Lake City honored volunteers in April for their service and commitment to the hospital. Nearly 70 SMCH Auxiliary members attended the annual Volunteer Appreciation event at the Lake City Community Building. A welcome and keynote address focusing on the hospital’s 2015 achievements was presented by CEO, Cindy Carstens, who also thanked the auxiliary members for raising $60,000 through Trivia Night, Table A Fare, and linen, book and Gift Shoppe sales. The money raised will be funding three new EKG machines for the medical clinics in Rockwell City, Lake View and Gowrie as well as two labor and delivery beds for the hospital’s obstetrics department. Following the lunch, attendees were entertained by Seth Stamp and Trenton Dick of the South Central Calhoun speech department.
