WellStar Paulding Volunteers Donate $100,000 For Healthcare

DALLAS, GA — WellStar Paulding Hospital volunteers have donated $100,000 to the WellStar Foundation in support of healthcare initiatives at the hospital.

Throughout the past year, 140 individuals volunteered nearly 25,000 hours in the gift shop and hosting vendor events. These sales, along with personal donations, were directly reinvested back into the community through hospital projects and programs selected by volunteer leaders.

"It’s the people – the volunteers, patients, team members, business leaders and community philanthropists – who allow us to better serve our loved ones in the community," said Gene Weeks, WellStar Foundation development director. "Because of them, we are able to achieve our goal of exceeding patient expectations every day."

This past year, donations to the foundation supported initiatives in emergency and trauma, pediatrics, women’s health, cancer, imaging, community education and more. Every dollar donated goes directly toward programming to advance the level of healthcare provided to WellStar patients, their loved ones and local communities.

The Foundation supports WellStar Health System, Georgia’s largest not-for-profit health system, in its vision of delivering world-class healthcare. To learn more or to make a gift, you may visit the foundation's website or call 770-956-GIVE (4483).
