Rank / Shull Named PEC Volunteers of the Year

Clarinda Regional Health Center • May 25, 2022


Partners in Exceptional Care (PEC) is excited to have had its first in-person Annual Meeting since combining the CRHC Auxiliary and Clarinda Medical Foundation into one unified group. The meeting took place on Thursday, May 19th at the Westminster Presbyterian Church. There were approximately 45 members in attendance. Guests enjoyed a light lunch prepared by the CRHC kitchen staff and dessert from Robin's Nest Café & Bakery.


PEC retiring board members, new oncoming board members, and volunteers were recognized during the Annual Meeting. Beckie Finch and Joy Tunnicliff attended the meeting not only as PEC members but also as representatives of Tunnicliff Inc. which has once again graciously sponsored the Volunteer of the Year by making a monetary donation to Partners in Exceptional Care placing the recipients in the Silver Membership Level.


PEC members were mailed a ballot with each of our 86 volunteers listed and asked to nominate one person they would like to see recognized for their commitment and contributions to CRHC. The individual with the most nominations would be selected as PEC's Volunteer of the Year. After all the ballots were received the voting ended in a tie between two commendable individuals, therefore the Partners in Exceptional Care Board of Directors elected to recognize both individuals.


The winners of this year's Volunteer of the Year Award are Bob Rank and Rita Shull. Bob Rank has been delivering Fresh Eats meals to homebound individuals for over 10 years and is always willing to help when needed. Rita Shull has been volunteering at the hospital since 1983 and has most recently served as a PEC Board of Director for the last two years, volunteers in the Gift Shop, co-lead the Beautification Committee and assisted with the 2021 Golf Tournament.


Bailey Clubb, Manager of Volunteer Services and Committees said, "It is exciting to have a tie this year between these two very deserving volunteers. Bob and Rita have both volunteered for many years and have been great assets to the success of our volunteer programs. It’s an honor to get to work with both of them and all of the volunteers at CRHC and PEC. Thank you for your time and dedication to Clarinda Regional Health Center, Partners in Exceptional Care, and this community!”
