Listen in as our patients and team member’s alike share endearing stories about the experiences we create that have made an indelible impact in their lives.
Volunteers are integral to the work we do at Novant Health. They are often the first touch made when our patients walk in the door and the last smile or hug as they depart us. In this episode we celebrate one special volunteer, Paul Finke, that turned 100 years old on March 12, 2020 and chose to spend it doing what he loves...volunteering at Novant Health Huntersville Medical Center. Paul is a valued member of the Novant Health family and dedicated fixture at the facility!
The leaders of the Novant Health Veterans BRG (Business Resource Group), Kathy Cobb and Dr. Mark Higdon, performed a special coin presentation replicating that which is done for active military members.
