Today, we paused to celebrate the heart of Firelands Health: our incredible volunteers.

To show our gratitude for their tireless dedication, we hosted a special luncheon at the Sandusky Yacht Club, complete with exciting prize giveaways and great company.

Before the festivities kicked off, Jeremy Normington-Slay, president and CEO, and Lee Alexakos, vice chair of the board of directors, shared heartfelt messages of thanks. They highlighted the vital impact our volunteers have on our patients and staff every single day.

We topped off the celebration with a beautiful performance by the Firelands Symphony Chorale. To our volunteers: thank you for everything you do!

Firelands Health is proud to recognize Janet Cummings as the December Volunteer of the Month. Janet joined the Firelands Health family in June 2024 and currently volunteers at the information desk, where her friendly face is among the first to welcome visitors to the hospital.

Originally from western Pennsylvania, Janet moved to the area in the 1980s. This month, she and her husband will celebrate 39 years of marriage. They share one child. In her free time, Janet enjoys photography, quilt piecing, reading, traveling, and spending time with her family.

Prior to retiring 19 and a half years ago, Janet spent 26 years as a high school math teacher at Perkins Local Schools. Her life has been marked by service, including volunteering with Care & Share and Cancer Services. Janet has also served on the Sandusky AARP Tax Assistance Team. She has been active in Zonta International, the Zonta Club of Greater Sandusky, and the Kappa Phi Club, a national Christian women’s organization.

For Janet, the best part of volunteering is connecting with people – patients, visitors, and employees alike. Many are former students, parents of students, or former colleagues. Janet feels very fortunate to work with caring, knowledgeable, understanding, and friendly staff who are very dedicated to their jobs.

Thank you, Janet for your warm smile, unwavering commitment, and joy you bring to everyone at Firelands Health.
