Southeast Georgia Health System issued the following announcement on Nov. 1.
Southeast Georgia Health System Volunteer Services recently announced Margie Young as the Brunswick Campus Summer Volunteer of the Quarter and Ishbel McInnes-Drong as the Camden Campus Summer Volunteer of the Quarter.
Young has provided volunteer support in the Brunswick Campus Breast Care Center for eight years. Her primary responsibility is to assist with letters that are mailed to hundreds of patients each week. She also provides support with additional Volunteer Services projects. “Over the years, Margie has been very supportive of our volunteer program,” says Peggy Tuten, president, Brunswick Campus Volunteer Services. “She has helped with the various fundraisers, projects and Gift Shop bake sales held prior to the pandemic.”
Young has volunteered extensively with Habitat for Humanity and is a former president of the Friends of the Library. In 2008 she received the YWCA Tribute to Women Leaders award and was recognized in 2009 and 2010 with the Habitat for Humanity Outstanding Volunteer Award. In 2015 she received the Charles Beard Library Advocacy Award for outstanding contributions to Georgia libraries. Young remains very active in helping to run the used bookstore at the Brunswick-Glynn County libraries. She and her husband, Dick, have two sons and two grandsons. In her spare time, she enjoys working in her yard, exercising, cooking and reading.
McInnes-Drong has volunteered two days a week in the Camden Campus Outpatient Laboratory since joining Volunteer Services in 2018. “Like all our volunteers, Ishbel had to take a break when we suspended Volunteer Services in March 2020 due to the pandemic,” says Kathleen Worthing, president, Camden Campus Volunteer Services. “Since returning in June 2021, she has taken on the responsibility of training new volunteers in the lab and has trained four new volunteers in a very short time. In between, there were several months when Ishbel was the only volunteer in the lab and she volunteered extra days. We know that her help was much appreciated by the Outpatient Laboratory team members.”
McInnes-Drong moved to St. Marys from Connecticut where she worked as a shift supervisor in a casino. In her spare time, she enjoys DIY projects in her home and gardening.
More than 250 volunteers generously share their time and talents to assist patients, visitors, and team members at the Southeast Georgia Health System Brunswick and Camden campuses, as well as the Senior Care Centers in Brunswick and St. Marys.
