At Prairie Lakes Healthcare System, our volunteers play an important role in helping us deliver the best patient experience for those visiting our facilities.
This afternoon, our PLHS volunteers were invited to a Volunteer Appreciation Brunch in the MOB. Attendees were treated to a delicious spread of brunch favorites, they won door prizes, and they were joined by PLHS Leadership along with various board members. The work our PLHS volunteers do is incredible and the impact they leave can be felt throughout the healthcare system.
