Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital
Since their inception, January 10th, 1974 The Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital Auxiliary have been making “Hug Me” pillows for patients who need a pillow to hold against them as they cough or to cushion a tender area. About 250 pillows per year are handcrafted and given to patients.
Melissa Maxon shared “It is a need the volunteers can fill, with many who like to sew, it is a labor of love. Since the program started, the Auxiliary has received many Thank You notes from patients in regards to the lovely pillow they received.”
