Woman who has volunteered over 2,100 hours at EIRMC is honored for Feel Good Friday

EastIdahoNews.com and Ashley in Idaho Falls and Pocatello are partnering to honor people in our community for Feel Good Friday. Every week, we surprise someone deserving of special recognition.

Sheila Carter, a dedicated volunteer at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center since 2017, was recently honored by the Idaho Hospital Association with the 2023 Leader of Volunteer Excellence (LOVE) award. The award celebrates the outstanding dedication and impact of volunteers within Idaho’s healthcare community.

During her six years of service, Sheila has contributed over 2,100 hours of volunteer time. Currently, Sheila volunteer work includes providing comfort and support to patients and their families, assisting with administrative tasks, and lending a helping hand wherever needed. She also holds the position of Vice President within the EIRMC Auxiliary, where her responsibilities include guiding decisions regarding donations to help patients and family members during the difficult time of hospitalization.

Outside of EIRMC, Sheila participates in a support group for widows, which assists with grocery shopping, transportation to medical appointments, and help with family obligations during times of crisis.

We decided to thank Sheila for all she’s done and surprised her for Feel Good Friday. Check it out in the video player above!
