Agency’s Impact on the Community

This agency has bettered the community by making it possible for the staff at the Beaufort County Medical Center perform their duties more efficiently. By having the volunteers at the hospital, the paid staff can rely on them to do the everyday, tedious tasks that can easily be performed by someone without much training. This increases the amount of time the staff can work on more complicated and pressing issues.
