The Vulcan and County Healthcare Workers Attraction and Retention Committee is an active organization of volunteers dedicated to “Keeping Rural Healthcare Close to Home”.

 

The A and R Committee celebrated Rural Health Week 2025 by recognizing the dedicated staff who serve our community. Meals in Minutes provided both clinic and hospital staff with food platters, we delivered "orange" treats on the "Orange you glad you work in rural" day and sponsored a questionaire that tested our knowledge of healthcare in Vulcan over the last 50 years. Two grand prizes of  $50 gift certificates to the Vulcan Auxiliary Gift Shoppe were drawn from those who completed the questionaire.
