Greene County General Hospital - Friends Friday

Greene County General Hospital started its Friends Friday as a way to support community organizations and youth. The first Friday of each month, employees are allowed to wear jeans if they support the organizationâ€™s Friend of the Month. Support comes through monetary donations as well as donations of items needed by the Friend of the Month. Examples include food drives, monetary donations to the local crisis pregnancy center, school supply donations to local schools and monetary donations to help build a new baseball and softball complex for youth.
