Centegra Volunteers join in Christmas Activities at Hearthstone

 

Members of the senior management team of Centegra Health System spent a morning at Hearthstone with our children and older adults.  Their first immersion into our culture was a gingerbread house decorating adventure with the children from Woodstock Early Learning Center.  This was followed by the creation of books of remembrance through question and answer periods with Hearthstone residents.  Centegra representatives had a wonderful morning and even set up repeat meetings with residents to finish their projects together.
