After moving to Parkland 20 years ago, Judy Shutowick’s retirement has been anything but quiet. The former executive director of the New York State Neurological Society has been a volunteer for Broward Health Coral Springs’ Auxiliary for 15 years. Shutowick serves as the Auxiliary’s secretary, handling all of the computer needs, communications and meeting minutes for the hospital’s service organization.
Throughout the pandemic, Shutowick has been the vital glue keeping fellow volunteers engaged and informed as they worked virtually. She stepped up her responsibilities to manage the Auxiliary’s Volunteer Reporter software, a pilot program that tracks communication and attendance.
Her proficiency with the Volunteer Reporter program was indispensable as she prepared reports for The Joint Commission and the hospital’s Employee Health Department. She went on to train other volunteers throughout the healthcare system on the software and continues to work with the hospital’s IT Department to ensure the software remains operational for volunteers.
