The 2026 North Country Healthcare (NCH) Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon & Milestone Celebration was recently held on Friday, April 24th at The Chapel at Bellevue Barn in Jefferson, NH, bringing together an inspiring group of individuals dedicated to strengthening our community through service.
This special gathering was a heartfelt expression of gratitude for the countless hours our volunteers give, the kindness they share, and the lives they touch. Their generosity and commitment continue to inspire us every day, and this event served as a meaningful way to recognize and celebrate their impact.
During the luncheon, volunteers were honored with milestone hour pins and certificates, along with an NCH-inscribed gift and flowers in appreciation of their service. Guests also enjoyed a fun, lively game of Family Feud, which resulted in lots of laughter.
Our volunteers enjoyed a delicious turkey meal prepared by NCH Food Services and was graciously served by members of the NCH Cabinet, including Micheal Peterson, President & CEO, Androscoggin Valley Hospital; Matthew Streeter, Interim President & CEO, Weeks Medical Center and Chief Financial Officer, North Country Healthcare; Angie Schierer, President of Ambulatory Operations, North Country Healthcare; Darrell Bodnar, Chief Information Officer, North Country Healthcare; as well as Lauren Anderson, Director of Philanthropy & Community Relations, North Country Healthcare, and Nicole Gross, Philanthropy Coordinator, North Country Healthcare, who also assisted with the event.
Volunteer Services Coordinators Michelle Brault and Candy O’Neil extend their sincere thanks to everyone who helped make the luncheon a success, as well as to all who attended this wonderful celebration.
