McLeod Regional Medical Center named Linda Mallick as the Volunteer of the Year for 2022.

Mallick, a Florence resident, is the 35th recipient of the McLeod Volunteer of the Year award. She began volunteering for McLeod in 2013. Mallick volunteers for the McLeod Center for Cancer Treatment and Research and on the inpatient oncology unit of McLeod Regional Medical Center. She is also a member of the McLeod Volunteer Auxiliary Board, the McLeod Auxiliary Scholarship Committee, and the HOPE (Helping Oncology Patients Everyday) Fund Advisory Committee.

In presenting the award to Mallick, Linda Boone, Director of Volunteer Services for McLeod, shared, “In 2015, when I came to McLeod to work with this great group of volunteers, I was excited to see Linda’s name on the list. I knew her reputation as a hard worker and a fighter for those in need. She also has a strong sense of community and wants to be a part of the good things happening in and around Florence.

“Additionally, Linda has a unique sense of humor and is willing to speak up when she sees something could be better. She is not only willing to recognize challenges but is also willing to think outside of the box for a possible solution. As a breast cancer survivor for 11 years, Linda’s passion for McLeod is for the oncology patients whether she is volunteering in the infusion center or on the oncology floor. She has also served the hospital with more than 2,000 volunteer hours and has been an active volunteer for nine years. Please join me in congratulating Linda Mallick as our 2022 Volunteer of the Year for McLeod Regional Medical Center,” added Boone.
