Future Eagle Scout Making an Impact

In an effort to achieve his Eagle Scout rank, Boy Scout Seth Warner raised $800 in donations for supplies to make five picnic tables at Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital. Seth’s mom, an employee at the hospital, knew it lacked outdoor seating for patients, their families and the staff and recommended the idea to Seth.

“We have a lot of nice weather, and I thought people who work and visit the hospital would enjoy having an opportunity to eat outside,” said Warner.

Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital is very grateful for the tables and decided to place them all around campus – giving patients, families and employees access to sunshine for quick breaks.

“We’re really excited to have the picnic tables Seth built,” said Laura Barden, community development director for Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital. “The picnic tables offer our families a quick getaway with a change of scenery and fresh air that can really help them when they are facing health issues with a loved one. It also gives our staff a relaxing lunch option where they can come back recharged and ready to continue our mission of providing outstanding patient‐ and family‐centered care.”
