After retiring from his position as a
union laborer for over 24 years, Frost began volunteering at the
hospital. Eventually, he took the position of valet and brings a
smile to everyone who walks through the doors at ALMH.
In his position, Frost valet parks
anywhere from five to 16 vehicles each morning. Oftentimes, you'll
find Frost helping people in and out of their cars and assisting
with any other needs they may have as they enter the hospital.
"Working at ALMH gives me an
opportunity to work with and serve great people," Frost said. "I
like being available to help people and let them know that it's
going to be OK. Helping people is important to me."
Frost was nominated for the honor
by an anonymous person who stated: "Tom gives 100% to make the each
patient's visit to ALMH a great one. He is polite and always there
to help them, not just parking their car, but assisting them by
wheelchair or by giving them an arm to lean on while entering the
hospital. He knows nearly everyone who comes often by name and makes
them feel really special."
A second anonymous nominator said:
"As a car stops in the front drive, Tom is waiting to help the
person from their car and into the hospital to where they need to
go. Tom is a great asset to ALMH."
