A big thank you to Bill Pennington, Jim Greeley, and Katerina Bell for volunteering at the South Church Neighbors In Need (NIN) Food Pantry this past Thursday.

On March 12th, Jean Leider spent 12 hours at the hospital, overseeing the management of both physical and electronic medical records. There were some challenges syncing the laptop and iPads with the Excel spreadsheet, but everything is running smoothly now. The team successfully registered 106 patients, with approximately 95 scheduled for surgery over the course of 7 days. The team included 4 doctors, anesthesiologists, or nurses, and speech pathologists. "Everyone has been incredibly flexible and willing to pitch in wherever needed. A couple of the speech pathologists even assisted me in organizing the medical charts. I was told this would be the busiest day, and I’m happy to report that I did a terrific job" said Jean.
