I’ve just returned from a volunteer event at the Ronald McDonald
House in Camden, New Jersey. The event
was sponsored by the Healthcare Leadership Network of the Delaware Valley
(HLNDV) which is a membership group of the American College of Healthcare
Executives (ACHE). The group (pictured) cooked a
breakfast of eggs, pancakes, toasted English muffins and bacon as well as juice
and coffee. I was responsible for
cooking the bacon (2 lbs.)!
I was reminded once again how fortunate I am to have
relatively good health. To see the kids
at the house suffering from a variety of life-threatening illnesses and still be
in good spirits is humbling. The house
itself is a sanctuary for both the kids and their parents and the staff do a
wonderful job of working with the families and maintaining the facility.
A special thanks to Fred for giving the group a tour of the
house and patiently answering our questions.
