Names Volunteer of the Month
For the past year, we have interviewed and written about the
extraordinary work that volunteers are doing throughout the Hospital.
However, with this issue of “InnerView,” we will focus on the Volunteer
Office and the individuals who make this group so very special.
Everyone knows Aimee Yahn-Carmichael, director of the Debbie-
Rand Memorial Service League volunteers. She sees to every detail
that involves over 700 volunteers and ensures that the office staff runs
smoothly. What a superb job she does. Dotti Dufresne, who has a
perpetual smile, became the first employee in the office in 2001. Dotti
assists Aimee, Debbie Leising and the volunteer secretaries with the
responsibilities that come along with this job.
In addition, there is the board of directors with Debbie Leising serving
as president. They set policy, coordinate all the fundraising activities
and supervise all the special events and projects, which includes the
Annual Volunteer Luncheon. Behind the scenes are numerous projects
in various stages of development, such as the recruiting and training of
all new volunteers. The office staff makes sure that all departments are
properly staffed and when a volunteer calls in sick they see to it that a
replacement is found. Coordination of all activities is what makes the
volunteer effort at Boca Raton Regional Hospital the very best.
The board makes certain that compliance with OSHA and HIPAA
laws are strictly observed. That includes federal, state and local laws
dealing with healthcare requirements. Leadership within the office
makes sure that all the volunteers who are assisting alongside our
great professional staff are committed to a team effort that brings
about excellent results for all patients and visitors at our Hospital.
The following is a listing of the volunteers who staff the office
throughout the week. Mary Mildner chairs in the training of the office
staff. Those listed with (S.P.) alongside their names are involved with
