Petersburg Medical Center Guild
Petersburg Hospital Guild, 1955
The Petersburg Hospital Guild is a group of volunteers formed in 1937 who have a long history of service to Petersburg Medical Center. The Hospital Guild was started by some local women who got together to raise money for the new (at the time) hospital and to furnish the building with hand-sewn curtains and linens. Over the years, the Hospital Guild has continued to do small sewing and mending projects for the hospital and the residents of Long Term Care as well as purchase medical equipment, entertainment items (including large screen TVs) and new beds and Hoyer lifts among many other items.
The Hospital Guild also operates the Charity Box Thrift Shop on First Street across from Petersburg Medical Center. Proceeds from the Charity Box have helped to purchase many items for the enjoyment of the residents of Long Term Care and contribute towards the purchase of equipment for Petersburg Medical Center. The Hospital Guild also supplies medivac kits for the comfort of patients being flown out during emergencies. The Charity Box is open every Monday from 10 am to 4 pm from Early June until September.
The Hospital Guild meets at 1:30 pm in the Dorothy Ingle Conference Room on the third Friday of the month from September to May. New members are always welcome.
