 Auburn
Regional Medical Center's Auction to Remember
November 16, 2007
Auburn Regional Medical Center is lucky to have great
Geriatric Psychiatry staff members like Melissa Hadfield.
Melissa and her team worked for several months on developing a
silent auction to benefit the Alzheimer's Association. She and
her crew of Santa's elves made over $10,000 to end Alzheimer's
disease at their silent auction on November 16th. We thank
Melissa and her team for their hard work and dedication.
The event was held in the atrium of the hospital and was
attended by community members as well as hospital staff,
visitors, and neighboring business people. Committee members
from the Alzheimer's Association's South Sound Memory Walk
also attended. The event included members from different
senior services in the area. Silent auction items ranged from
beautiful hand blown glass, paintings and quilts to sports
memorabilia and radio controlled cars.
