David Kim
In January 2011, David Kim joined the volunteer staff of
TSRHC as special projects coordinator. Prior to the appointment,
David worked in the hospital’s Development department. In his
new role, he will lead the summer junior volunteer program, recruit
and support volunteers for major events and coordinate the hospital
tour program.
Director of Volunteer Services, Mike Stimpson, said, “We are
so happy to have David, and he brings great experience to the
volunteer department.” David is also thrilled to be a part of the
Volunteer Services staff. “One of the biggest things I look forward
to is partnering with the volunteers and the junior volunteers. In a
non-profit hospital, it is important for the volunteers to work with
the hospital to reach its goals. It is very rewarding to work with
the hospital’s volunteers, they are excited, full of positive energy and treat it as an opportunity to serve,” David
said.
David recently graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in English. He was born in
Korea and raised in England and the United States. He is also a youth pastor at his church. David has already
begun working with volunteers who lead tours, and he is developing programs for the summer junior volunteers.
Junior League of Dallas’ Community Fair
On February 12, 2011, TSRHC was represented at the Junior League of Dallas’ (JLD) Annual Community
Fair held at NorthPark. The fair highlights each of the approximately forty, volunteer-oriented agencies the
league supports. JLD members, each of whom perform sixty hours of community service a year, have an
opportunity to learn about the agencies at the fair as they choose their volunteer placements for the following
year.
Junior League TSRHC volunteers represented the hospital at the fair, giving hundreds of JLD members a
chance to learn more about volunteering at the hospital. The fair also gave the hospital and its volunteers a
wonderful entree to the public.
Junior League volunteers fill a variety of positions at the hospital. They are involved in writing and editing the
volunteer newsletter. They also provide activities for patients in the day and evening program. Some volunteers
work evening hours in the gift shop and others work during the day, providing support to the hospital’s clerical
and administrative departments. Junior League volunteers also provide hospital tours. In addition, they plan
special craft activities through Creative Capers and provide ongoing support for Crayon Club events.
Volunteers Show Compassion
and Care to Waiting Families
The Sam and Millie Hilburn Family
Room and Chapel at TSRHC is a
“home away from home” for patients’
families while their loved ones undergo
surgery. The room is designed with
comfort in mind, from the kitchen
stocked with breakfast goodies, coffee
and water, to the large living area with
a TV, game cabinet, the latest
magazines, fish and turtle tanks and

surgery at the hospital. Whether it is a
junior volunteer playing checkers with
a patient’s grandfather or a volunteer
recommending area restaurants to hungry siblings,
hospital volunteers are there to meet the families’
needs, whatever those needs may be.
The volunteers enjoy working in this area of
the hospital because they interact with patient
families, by giving them a friendly, warm welcome,
helping them locate resources such as churches
and transportation and comforting those who may
be anxious or worried. The volunteers also make
reminder calls the day before clinic appointments.
As volunteer Kathy Schwartz so aptly puts it, “I
enjoy helping families during what can be such a
stressful
time. I show

The new location was deemed an
improvement over past years for
many reasons. Importantly, finishers
were able to “get out of the
elements” and come inside a warm
building, rather than remain outside
in a tent upon finishing the race. In
addition, Ms. Braun noted that the
new venue allowed for a smooth
flow for race finishers. The move also
changed the course somewhat, and
runners ran through the Arts District
for the first time. According to Kirk
Couch, a longtime hospital and
marathon volunteer, several racers
expressed their approval. He said,
“Everyone liked the course and the
Fair Park location – more room to
get around and more room to
navigate in theAutomobile Building.”
More than 150 hospital volunteers
were involved in this year’s marathon.
Volunteers worked at the expo
before the race, providing activities
for children such as coloring and face
painting. Other volunteers supported
the race itself and worked at water
stations throughout the course.
Finally, there were many volunteers
at the finish working in theAutomobile
Building. Race finishers came through
the Automobile Building, where
hospital and community volunteers
distributed water, food, mylar
blankets, finisher T-shirts and medals
before participants were reunited with
their families.
The marathon and the hospital
received additional exposure to the
community because the annual Fair
Park Holiday was held December
4, 2010, during the prerace expo.
These holiday events, including the
lighting of a Christmas tree, made
for a “festive and fun atmosphere,”
according to Louanne Weeks,
hospital weekday volunteer
coordinator.
