held the change. Imle had no retail experience, but her first
friend in town ran a gift shop in Tequesta, and she helped
Imle set up a proper shop and even shared some inventory
with her. Imle ordered the shop’s first cash register, and
had the volunteers trained to use it.
A year later, Imle convinced the Auxiliary’s president
to let her create a new position at the front desk to greet
people and help direct them to the proper location within
the hospital. Up until the pandemic, she volunteered five
days a week both in the main lobby and in the family
waiting area.
When asked about her favorite job, however, there
was no hesitation: “Greeter is my absolute favorite job.”
Even in the midst of the COVID pandemic, Imle finds
ways to volunteer. Every month she collects donated
items from her neighbors and arranges for Jupiter Medical
Center’s Thrift Shop truck to come pick them up.
Reflecting on her years of service, Imle says she is
grateful for the privilege of being a part of the growth
of Jupiter Medical Center. She gives thanks for the
regular training that volunteers receive, which enables
the volunteers to better serve our community.
“It is that sense of community that sets Jupiter Medical
Center apart,” Imle said. And most of all, she is grateful
for the many lasting friendships that have blessed her
many years at the hospital.
When not volunteering at the hospital, Imle is serving
as president of the resident council at Mangrove Bay and
leads the water aerobics class when the activities director
is unavailable.
