Katie has been a volunteer at Flowers Hospital for five years and has accumulated more than 850 volunteer hours. Over those five years, she has volunteered in the Education Department, Recovery Room, 4 South, Pediatrics, Medical Records, Gift Shop, and Information Desk.

“It was my pleasure to present two of our teen volunteers with scholarships,” says Rhonda Andrews, Volunteer Coordinator. “Our teen volunteers donate their time after school and while on summer break to make a positive difference in the lives of others, and I am proud we are able to offer a scholarship program.”

Each year, Flowers Hospital offers teen volunteers an opportunity to apply for a scholarship. The recipients are selected based on their grade point average, accumulated volunteer hours, and a one-page essay.
