Honoring veterans for their part in keeping our great nation free, was the thought behind “Honor Our Heroes” Day held on July 3rd at Wellington Regional Medical Center. The event was sponsored by the hospitals Business Office, Service Excellence Committee.
The Committee collected donations for one week prior to the event, with all funds raised, benefiting the VA Center for Combat Veterans. Thanks to the generosity of employees and to a special patient of the hospital, Francis Drake. Upon learning of the fundraiser to benefit the Veterans Center, Mr. Drake, himself a World War II veteran, most generously contributed $1,000 to the cause. At a special presentation, Marshall Goby, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist and retired US Colonel, now with the VA Center, was presented with a check for over $1,900.
