Ruth Arnouts recently recognized Anne Volkis, RN, staff nurse on telemetry unit at UM Shore Medical Center at Easton as an “Everyday Hero” by making a contribution to UM Memorial Hospital Foundation in Volkis’ honor.
“Anna Volkis was instrumental in keeping my mother calm after an episode of confusion during the night,” wrote Arnouts’ daughter in a letter to the UM Memorial Hospital Foundation. “Anna was kind, calm and professional; thank you for being an everyday hero!”
