As part of both annual luncheons, volunteers were recognized for hours of service to the medical centers over the past year. Members of the hospital auxiliary, the organization that plans fundraisers in support of the hospitals, were recognized for the financial support they provide the hospitals. The chaplains at both facilities were honored for their volunteer efforts in providing spiritual support for patients, families, and staff.

In addition to recognizing the volunteers for their efforts year round, National Volunteer Week is also an opportunity for Berkeley and Jefferson Medical Centers to create an awareness of volunteer opportunities within the hospitals.
