LA GRANDE â Grande Ronde Hospital employees recently extended hands of assistance to many La Grande seniors they may never meet. The hospitalâs employees, as part of their Share the Love program, donated almost 400 items and sent 200 signed cards to the residents at Post Acute Rehab, Wildflower Lodge and Grande Ronde Retirement Residence. The items included large-print word search puzzles, crossword puzzles, craft kits, art supplies, socks and tissues. The cards delivered messages of kindness and support. The GRH Employee Activities Committee collected and prepared the donations over the course of two weeks. Committee member Stephanie Roy said it was particularly important at the time to reach out to the seniors because the COVID-19 pandemic prevented visitations at assisted living centers.
