For safety reasons, all walk-in volunteers will be turned away
Anyone who lives in Campbell County, Wyoming knows how generous and giving
this community is, and Campbell County Health recently got a rather large
taste of this community’s volunteer spirit as well.
In early October, CCH
put out a call for volunteers to help move residents and staff into our new long-term care facility,
The Legacy Living & Rehabilitation Center. In less than three weeks, we received a very generous outpouring of support—there
are now more than 150 volunteers who have helped, or are going to help
CCH with the move from Pioneer Manor to The Legacy. From traffic control
to greeters, to playing music and packing up residents’ belongings,
we have filled every volunteer position imaginable. This community stepped
up in a big way to help the residents of The Legacy, and we at CCH are
truly humbled.
Currently, there are no other volunteer opportunities available to help
with this move. Anyone who is volunteering has already been contacted
by CCH Volunteer Services Coordinator Chris Buxton, and has attended an
orientation session specific to the duties they will carry out. For the
safety of the residents, CCH staff and other volunteers, those who have
not attended orientation or show up the day of the move to The Legacy
will be turned away.
Media or others who wish to participate in documenting any aspect of the
move from Pioneer Manor to The Legacy, are expected to respect the privacy
of any residents and volunteers who do not wish to be photographed—this
includes a significant number of residents. CCH Community Relations will
be on site at Pioneer Manor and The Legacy, and are available for assistance.
Please identify yourself at any check-in point so we can help you with
your coverage. For questions regarding media coverage, please contact
Community Relations at 307.688.1580, or directly at:
- Karen Clarke, 307.680.3026
- Dane Joslyn, 307.680.3898
- Felicia Messimer, 862.596.2922
Again, CCH is truly grateful for the support and generous nature of the
Campbell County Community. Should you have any questions about your volunteer
role, please contact Chris at 307.688.1536 or email
crystal.buxton@cchwyo.org. For questions about The Legacy, please call 307.688.7000.
