Leadership of the HighPointe on Michigan Women’s Board traveled to Verona, New York to attend the New York State Health Facilities Association/New York State Center for Assisted Living (NYSHFA/NYSCAL) annual convention. The Board was honored as New York State Volunteer Group of the Year and recognized for their outstanding service to HighPointe on Michigan. The Women’s Board is a not-for-profit volunteer-based organization that originated in 1930. The volunteers fully support the gift shop at HighPointe through an average of 7,787 annual volunteer hours. Their efforts also support the residents’ needs in part through their annual support as Presenting Sponsor of the Tee Off for Tots Golf Tournament.

Deacon Norm and Nancy Foster, volunteers at HighPointe on Michigan received the 2013 Spiritual Guidance Volunteer of the Year Award. The Fosters have volunteered at HighPointe for five years, spending more than 300 hours in the past year alone arranging interfaith ministry services and visiting with residents. “Deacon Norm and Nancy Foster as well as the Women's Board members’ commitment and dedication to our residents are greatly appreciated,” said Michael Murphy, director of long term care at HighPointe. "Their volun- teerism is truly exemplary and deserving of these prestigious awards from NYSHFA."

Leaders of the volunteer support group, TWIG (Together with Individual Goals), Deanne King and Peg Jarnot present their annual gift of $55,000 to Children’s Hospital Foundation Board member, Amy Habib Rittling. A portion of their donation will help purchase a ventilator to be used as part of an intricate transport system for the region’s most critically ill newborns and in coordination with one of the most advanced transport isolettes, also made possible in part by a $50,000 gift from TWIGs in 2012. As the Regional Perinatal Center for Western New York, hospitals from the eight counties of Western New York and beyond transfer their most critically ill infants and high risk expectant mothers to Women & Children’s Hospital of Buffalo for the highest level of medical care available. The neonatal transport team provides emergent ground or air transport of critically ill newborns in need of immediate care. This highly skilled and specialized team consists of neonatal nurse practitioners, registered respiratory therapists and neonatal physicians, when necessary. The Mother Baby Unit and Child Life were also recipients of funding to continue their important work. TWIG organized in Buffalo in 1978.

Four years ago, Paige was very sick in the Three Generations of Giving PICU at Children's. She was admitted a couple of days before Christmas and we were there through Christmas as well. On Christmas day, we were visited by Santa and many helpers that brought her wrapped presents and something for me as well. As you can imagine, after being there for four days, I was overwhelmed and humbled by the generosity of the community. Although Paige does not remember, the story is retold many times and especially during this time of year. Since then and every year we want to give back. We collect toys and wrapping paper to give to the hospital. It is important to teach my children to give back. Unfortunately, I would love to give my time, but at this point in my life I am not able to so this is what I can do. Thank you all for providing families with what they truly need, peace of mind. Paige Gottstine (right) with grandmother, Pat Daroshefski and Mom, Happy Holidays! Amy Gottstine Amy Gottstine
