Giving a Special Gift Our Shining Stars From Larry Lachter On Friday, May 10th, I had a lovely experience while driving the tram. I’ve been driving it for more than four years and have made new friends, reconnected with old ones and had many amazing experiences and strange coincidences ... I even met the man who almost married my wife-to-be 60 years ago. But, this one beats them all. Cheryl Carpenter called me from the rotunda to come and pick up a “special” passenger who needed a ride to the maternity unit. As I pulled up to the main lobby, Cheryl came out, guiding the little lady. They explained that she needed to get to the maternity unit to meet her new and 20th greatgrandchild. Wow! This brought back memories of taking one young and very pregnant lady to maternity who was 10 days “late.” To my relief, she was just making an appointment to have a cesarean section done the next day. I had visions of delivering a baby in the tram. From a SurgiCenter Family Member Is someone you know having a special birthday or anniversary and you don’t know what to give them? Why not honor them by making a contribution in their name to the Debbie-Rand Memorial Service League. Their name will appear in the newsletter and you will receive an in-kind donation for the amount donated. In turn, if your donation is $20 or more, the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation will give you credit toward your benefactor status. You may also wish to remember a loved one or friend that may be deceased. What better way to memorialize them. Remember, for the person who has everything, a gift to the Debbie- Rand Memorial Service League is priceless! Why single out just one? Across the board, D-RMSL volunteers help make the Hospital as wonderful and caring as it is. If one must be in the hospital, this is the one to visit. The many volunteers are just as professional as the seasoned staff. Thank you. Do you know of or have you witnessed a volunteer going above and beyond to help a patient? Or maybe someone who is simply deserving of recognition for displaying an exceptional level of volunteerism? If so, let us know and we will feature them in an upcoming issue. 51st Debbie-Rand Anniversary Luncheon Join us Wednesday, September 18, 2013 from 11:30am to 1:30pm for a most enjoyable event to celebrate the Debbie-Rand Memorial Service League's 51st Anniversary.

TAV Monthly Moment CHRISTIE ESTRADA – INTERVIEWED BY JENNIFER ROSE What made you interested in becoming a TAV at Boca Regional? When I decided to enter into a career in medicine, I wanted to get my feet wet right away and observe what life is like for both patients and their caretakers. By becoming a TAV, I have been given a priceless, although tiny, glimpse at life in the hospital at the age of 17. How long have you been a TAV? I have been a TAV for one year. Which department(s) do you work in? I have worked in both the Gift Shop and the Lab. What is your favorite part about being a TAV at Boca Regional? One of my favorite parts about being a TAV is the great opportunity I have to interact with people and forge connections with both fellow volunteers and employees, young and old alike. What has been the highlight moment of being a TAV? One of the most memorable moments I have had occurred when I was volunteering in the gift shop. A woman had entered to look for "a last gift" for her father who had just recently been transferred to hospice. Although many of my friends have commented that working in the gift shop was not a "real" part of the Hospital, being able to comfort and help the woman let me see another important facet of the Hospital community – the patient's family.
