Donors and Volunteers Decorate for the Holidays

Donors and Volunteers Decorate for the Holidays

After just one step into the halls of Ranken Jordan, most people immediately notice the ways in which the hospital does not quite have the same feel as others. The culture of play and compassion permeates every aspect of Ranken Jordan, down to the design of the space. Year-round, the hospital maintains a sort of magic by refreshing decorations that enhance the feel of each season. Whether there is a new display by the art room, or seasonal gnomes on the patient kitchen door, Ranken Jordan rarely looks the same on two separate visits. The holidays are no different as multiple people come together each year to transform the hospital into a proper winter wonderland. This year, the Ranken Jordan development team partnered with volunteer coordinator, Jenna Firehammer, to include the help of some very generous donors.
