Regional set to honor its auxiliary

Southern Regional

Medical Center is hosting the 28th annual celebration and

installation banquet for its auxiliary tomorrow at the

Atlanta Airport Marriott.

"This

annual event is our opportunity to thank all the

wonderful people who volunteer their time to make

Southern Regional a better place," said Gene

LeBlond, president and chief executive officer of

Southern Regional Health System.

Since 1995,

Southern Regional volunteers have contributed more than

98,000 hours of service. Not only does the group provide

countless hours of service; they also make financial

contributions to the medical center.

Since 1995,

the auxiliary has raised and donated $450,000 to

expanding and improving Southern Regional. This year, the

auxiliary will present a $100,000 check, which will be

used for the new Women's Life Center.
