Wrapping up 2014 Together

St. Claire Regional Medical Center

The end of 2014 concluded with SCR’s Annual Staff Christmas parties held on the second floor in the SCR cafeteria. Staff Christmas parties provide holiday cheer, lots of food and a time to meet and greet, laugh, hug a friend or pose for a memorable photo with the jolly bearded Santa. Santa was on stand-by for several hours passing out candy canes and listening to last minute Christmas wishes from the children that attended.

SCR would like to say thanks to ALL of our staff members for your dedicated service. (See more Photos - Page 2).

“The Rowan County Christmas Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity to thank the SCR Staff for your contribution to this year’s event. Your generosity was instrumental in making Rowan County Christmas a huge success. With your support we were able to provide assistance to over 1,300 of our less fortunate neighbors here in Rowan County. The distribution day at the Perkins Center went very smoothly and the recipients were able to receive their gifts in a very bright and supportive atmosphere. The interaction between the volunteers and recipients demonstrated the true spirit of Christmas.” - Tonya LeMaster, Rowan County Christmas Board Chair
