Adele Pickett of Redmond spent her 89th birthday on July 12 doing the same thing she does every Monday afternoon. She volunteered at Evergreen Hospital Medical Center.

Pickett welcomes patients, family members and visitors to the hospital from noon to 4 p.m. each Monday. She works behind the information desk at Evergreen’s main entrance. She has volunteered more than 4,200 hours at the hospital since 1984.

“Adele is simply amazing,” said Marcia Long, director of the volunteers. “She goes to water aerobics in the morning and then she comes here afterward.”

Evergreen welcomes volunteers. For more information, call 425-899-1994, e-mail mllong@evergreenhealthcare.org or visit www.evergreenhospital.org.

Hospice volunteer

An open house for people interested in learning about volunteer opportunities through Evergreen Hospice will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 4 in the Gene and Irene Wockner Hospice Center, 12822 124th Lane N.E., Kirkland.

Evergreen has openings for hospice volunteers throughout King and Snohomish counties because many of patients opt to stay at home.
