Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) is a group of volunteers with an interest in helping abused or neglected children, ages newborn to 18. You could be the voice for one of these children. The ultimate goal of CASA is to ensure every child has a safe, permanent home as quickly as possible. What is required? Once you become a volunteer, you will attend 40 hours of training on the duties and responsibilities of a CASA volunteer. Thirty of these hours are in a classroom-style environment learning how to interact with children and how to fill out reports, and ten hours are in the courtroom watching other CASA volunteers as they report their findings and make their recommendations to the Judge. This training can be scheduled at a time convenient to you. CASA is only asking for a 1 year commitment and an average of only about 1 hour per week for you to assess the needs of your case child. Please attend one of the following informational meetings to learn more about becoming a CASA Volunteer. 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 1, 2007 at the GSW Student Health Center. 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, August 1, 2007 at the GSW Student Health Center.

Parking is available in front and on the side of that building. You may call 931-2784 for additional information about this program. A child in our area is in need of a person like you to speak on his or her behalf. Sumter Regional Hospital supports and encourages participation in this worthwhile volunteer program. Did you know? 99 children in Georgia died from abuse and neglect in 2004. Every 15 minutes in Georgia, a child is the victim of confirmed abuse or neglect. In Georgia, 200 incidents of child abuse and neglect are reported daily.

This plan will allow many of our clinical and medical employees to keep your skills razor sharp while representing SRH to the community and beyond. Please stay tuned as we hammer out the details of this plan. More than 600 SRH Employees Met During The Employee Meetings (Posted March 6, 2007> In an effort to alleviate rumors and fears of hospital personnel after last week's tornado, Sumter Regional Hospital held two sessions at Georgia Southwestern State University's Storm Dome Tuesday. A total of approximately 600 employees attended both sessions combined, which is more than 85 percent of the hospital's 700-plus employees. After an opening prayer, SRH President & CEO David Seagraves started by thanking everyone who helped immediately after last Thursday's tornado hit the hospital with full force as well as the aftermath since, including physicians who were both in the hospital and those who were not. “We applaud each of you,” said Seagraves. “Not only those of you who were on duty, but to those who came in once the alert was sounded. Your efforts were nothing short of heroic.” After giving employees information regarding communications (“the Americus Times-Recorder had a lot of information in today's newspaper and has been a good source of information”), Seagraves then went on to talk about the damage of the building and the tremendous challenge the hospital faces. “Our first priority is to serve our patients in this community,” said Seagraves. He then went on to talk about the hospital's 50-bed tent hospital that is located in the employee parking lot across from the old building. Seagraves said the facility, which already has an address of 151 Mayo St., will have ER capabilities as well, and that it will also have some radiological services and lab services. “We may have a different setting, but we will have the same competent and wonderful staff caring for the healthcare needs of this community.” He then went on to say that the current facility will open in the next few days, and that the hospital is exploring a more “permanent” temporary home until the old building is assessed. One of the main things Seagraves wanted to do was to alleviate the fears of the employees after rumors about the hospital closing. “The hospital is not going to close,” said Seagraves. “We face some significant challenges, but our intent is to come back stronger than ever. We expect to make payroll for the forseeable future and we will keep you updated as we get information from our insurance company and other agencies such as FEMA and GEMA. President Bush was here first-hand to witness the devastation, and others will hopefully support our cause as well.” He also stated that even though the building is uninhabitable at this point, some of the hospital staff is still working very hard. “And for those of you who currently do not have a place to perform your duties at this current time, please continue to exhibit the community minded spirit SRH is known for by helping your family or your neighbor through these tough times.” Finally, Seagraves answered questions that were already submitted by employees, and then he answered questions from the crowds, which included more than 500 at the first session and an additional 100-plus in the second session. “We need your support more than ever, and we need the support from our community as well,” Seagraves said.
