Through their unselfish spirit of giving, volunteers enhance the mission of the hospital by giving very good service to our customers.
Friends of Sumner Regional oversee fundraising events to support medical student education and indigent care for Sumner Regional patients as well as donate profits from Simply Sumner Gift & Coffee Shoppe to the hospital for needed medical equipment.
