Columbus Community Hospital has awarded LaVonne Schultz the Service Over Self award.
The award recognizes CCH staff who volunteer in Columbus and the surrounding communities. It celebrates, supports and encourages volunteer activities while recognizing CCH staff's positive impact on their communities.

In addition, she regularly volunteers in several areas of the hospital, including surgery waiting, The Gift Shop, hematology and oncology and monthly blood drives, and performs many other behind-the-scenes tasks.
An anonymous volunteer nominated Schultz for the award.
The nomination letter stated, “LaVonne continually shows her dedication to everyone around her. She is very caring and will stop to say ‘Hi,’ and is concerned about how you are. She lives the hospital’s ICARE values every day.”
Schultz received the Service Over Self award on Thursday, Jan. 18.
