ER Meet and Greet

Hits TV shows like “ER” and “Grey’s Anatomy” show the drama and triumphs of a hospital emergency room. But have you ever heard the real stories of the challenges and rewards from those actually working in an ER?

Club 300 committee member, Ashley Andrews hosted an “ER Meet and Greet”, on Sunday, September 13 at Monrovia hillside home of her parents, Tom and Glynda Andrews. Guests in attendance had an exclusive opportunity to mingle with our emergency services physicians and staff in a social setting while hearing about the daily life-changing medical care given in the ER.

The evening’s ambiance was relaxed as guests enjoyed the dining buffet stations and remarks by Partners in Health Co-Chair and Methodist Hospital Foundation Board Member, Carmen Thibault. She spoke about the importance of Club 300 to the hospital and the excitement shared by her fellow board members for this program under Partners in Health.

Cathi Kaliel, manager of emergency services at Methodist Hospital then spoke about plans for the new Hollfelder Emergency Care Center, under construction now at Methodist Hospital. She was followed by host, Ashley Andrews who thanked guests for attending and invited them to become members of Club 300 during its inaugural year.
