The Vidant Beaufort Hospital Volunteer Department recently awarded scholarships totaling $3,150 to seven graduating seniors for their service to the hospital.  Each junior volunteer is required to work a minimum of 32 hours for at least three summers to qualify for the scholarship.

During the summer months, Vidant Beaufort Hospital is supported by a group of junior volunteers.  These dedicated students provide a great service to the hospital and patients as well as get a first-hand look at the health care industry.  They do anything from discharging patients, delivering various items throughout the hospital, to certain clerical duties.

“We are extremely proud and very appreciative of the dedication and commitment these students showed to our patients, their families and our team,” said Jamie Tice, manager of volunteer services. “We wish them a lifetime of success in their future endeavors.”
