Quarterly Newsletter of the Council on Volunteer Services Georgia Hospital Association 1 COUNCIL COURIER VOLUME 62 NO. 1 (1958—2020) DECEMBER 2019 QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER OF THE COUNCIL ON VOLUNTEER SERVICES GEORGIA HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION December 2019 SPECIAL POINTS OF INTEREST I have been busy getting organized and work- ing on the next Conference with Cathy. I also visited Effingham Health System in Springfield in the Southeast District for their Fiftieth Anni- President 1 versary. While I was there, a volunteer was “Presidents” 3 asked to give the Invocation and this is what she said right off the cuff. I later asked her to Conference 4-6 write it down, so I could share it as I am with you in the Courier. I think so many times we Awards Winners 5 lose sight of what our mission truly is as volun- Ads 8 & 12 teers. Her words state it beautifully. Her name is Shirley Wright and this is what she said. Contact Info 17—20 We are volunteers. That’s what we do. The uniforms we wear represent an as- Courier Info 21 sociation of kindred spirits. We know, encourage and care for each other. We relate our life experiences. When one shares a joy, we rejoice together. When one grieves, we all grieve. That’s what we do. We are present with those that are in our care. We are volunteers. We form bonds with those we serve. Our interactions with each one assures them that they are in a safe place. They leave us comforted, we leave with grateful hearts. In addition to the hours we serve in one specific locale, our actions as volun- teers have become a part of our daily routine. It’s just our way of life. We vol- untarily take that stray buggy back inside the store, we hold doors open for oth- ers, we give a smile to those frowning. We assist in whatever opportunities we are given and they ARE opportunities. That’s what we do. We are volunteers. Congratulations for a wonderful Conference and 60th Anniversary Party to the Southwest District under the capable leadership of Martha Greene-Tucker, Conference Chair and her two wonderful District Direc- tors, Linda Holloway and Joan Newpeck. I leave these thoughts with all of you and I wish you the happiest of Christmas and the new year ahead.

I have been busy resting and sleeping. I am excited about serving as the COVS President Elect. The main focus this year will be on Healthcare.

We are in the middle of the Holiday Season, “May each of you have a safe and Merry Christmas and a Hap- py New Year (2020). Martha First Vice President Conference Chair — Cathy Hefner I am super excited to be your 2020 COVS Conference Chairperson. We all en- joyed an extra special 60th Anniversary Conference due to the efforts of Martha Greene-Tucker and the Southwest District and District Directors, Linda Holloway and Joan Newpeck. The 2020 Conference will be hosted by the Central District with the guidance of their District Directors, Joyce Barrett and Jimmy Hall. This year the theme will be the OCEAN with a hint of Celtic flare, which will add some interesting events to the conference. The Conference Planning committee met in Macon, the first part of November, and it was a very successful meeting. What an enthusiastic group! Ideas were flying around like mad! As promised, comments from the survey sheets were discussed, and we already have implemented some of these ideas into our program. We have listened to what COVS members are suggesting and the ideas are endless. I am looking forward to the next few months of planning with a WONDERFUL group of volunteers!

Betty Anne Foran, President 5 COUNCIL COURIER VOLUME 62 NO. 1 (1958—2020) DECEMBER 2019 CEO of the 2019 Year, Trent Lind of Eastside Medical Center in CEO of The Year 2019 Snellville, Georgia. He stipulated in an interview with Gwinnett Maga- zine that at “ Eastside, our goal is to be the best place to receive care, the best place to practice medicine, and the best place to work… even though we’re expanding and growing, we’re still a community hospital, so we want to be engaged with our community.” Trent became the CEO at Eastside Medical Center in 2016 and because of his proactive involve- ment in the hospital and its community, the hospital has done a com- plete turn around from a place very few wanted to practice to a hospital where physicians returned. In fact, Eastside, under Lind’s guidance be- came a top ten safe hospital in Georgia. Not only does Trent support his staff, but he also supports his volunteers and patients. Whether it is with a hug or a kind word of encouragement, Trent is a visible Adminis- trator with an open-door policy. MVS(DVS) of the 2019-year, Carol Kratochvil of Northside Hospi- tal Atlanta, who once a volunteer, gained the admiration and respect of Northside Atlanta’s Hospital Administration, staff and volunteers. She inspires and encourages teamwork both within the Auxiliary and the hospital. She has been the force behind the tremendous respect on the part of hospital leadership towards the Auxiliary. She is available to all and is welcoming who exhibits great listening and organization skills. She respects the volunteers their opinions and talents. She makes the volunteers feel as if they are being heard and valued. On top of it all, Carol is results oriented and has been the driving force of many projects such as Screen Atlanta Mammography Mobil Van. Piedmont Athens Regional Hospital has won the Community of Conscience Award for a Large Hospital for 2019.

  • Georgia Black Bear Project Report & Status Update (US Fish & Wildlife
    GEORGIA BLACK BEAR PROJECT REPORT AND STATUS UPDATE BOBBY BOND, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division, 1014 Martin Luther King Boulevard, Fort Valley, GA 31030 ADAM HAMMOND, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division, 2592 Floyd Springs Road, Armuchee, GA 30105 GREG NELMS, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division, 108 Darling Avenue, Waycross, GA 31501 Abstract: Throughout Georgia, bear populations are stable to increasing in size. Bait station surveys were conducted to determine distribution and population trends of bears in north, central, and south Georgia during July of 2008. Results of these surveys, expressed as percent bait station hits, were 71.04%, 45%, and 35.8% for stations in north, central, and south Georgia respectively. Concurrently, harvest in the north, central, and south Georgia populations was 314, 0, and 57 bears, respectively. The black bear (Ursus americanus) symbolizes the wild qualities of Georgia. Prior to the eighteenth century bears were common in Georgia. However, habitat loss, unrestricted hunting and overall degradation of habitat because of human development contributed to a Fig. 1 – Black Bear Distribution serious population decline. Georgia Department of Natural and Range in Georgia. Resources wildlife management practices, improvements in law enforcement, and social changes all have contributed to the recovery of bear populations. In Georgia, we have 3 more/less distinct bear populations: 1) north Georgia associated with the Southern Appalachians 2) central Georgia along the Ocmulgee River drainage 3) southeast Georgia in/around the Okefenokee Swamp (U. a. floridanus) (Fig. 1). All three populations are believed to be either stable or slightly increasing.
