Charles Courtney, a member of the Environmental Services team at UM Shore Medical Center at Easton, was recently recognized as an Everyday Hero by Regina Grogan, a former patient at the hospital who made a donation in his honor to UM Memorial Hospital Foundations. Grogan’s gift recognizes Courtney’s efficiency and hard work, but also mentioned how personally helpful he was during her stay at the hospital in May.
The Everyday Hero program provides patients, visitors and staff members with the opportunity to recognize and thank any member or team at UM Shore Regional Health, who made a positive difference in a visit or stay, by making a financial contribution of any size to UM Memorial Hospital Foundation or UM Chester River Health Foundation. Funds received through the Everyday Hero program are used for equipment, capital improvements and staff education in the departments in which the employees or team work.
