The “Heart of the Community Awards” recognition program is sponsored by Redmond Regional Medical Center and the Heart of the Community Foundation Inc. to honor local citizens for their volunteer service to our community. Recipients of the award are honored at a black tie gala planned for Feb. 18 at The Forum.
Proceeds from the event will be designated for heart education and safety programs in the Rome and Floyd County community. Previously funded projects have included the Heart House for families of critically ill patients on the Redmond campus, AED units in public facilities in Rome, a LifeTrail fitness course at Ridge Ferry Park, exercise equipment at the North Floyd Recreation Center and a serenity garden at Redmond.
