It will be a few months before John Crawford Smith takes an interest in the
cup that Patsy Friend, President of the Hospital Auxiliary, presents to his
mom on his behalf. John, son of Patti and Phil Smith, was this year's Saint
Joseph baby, weighing in at 9 pounds, 10 ounces, at 12:01 a.m., March 19. Each
year the Auxiliary presents a silver cup to the first baby born on Saint Joseph
Day. That day the Auxiliary also presented Sister Mary Andrew with a check
for $15,000 toward its 1987 pledge for SAGE, the Senior Health Program
housed at the Family Practice Center.
Local Heroine
In January Jackie Cherry, RN,
Surgery, was on her way to work
aboard an RTD bus when the bus
approached the scene of an auto-
pedestrian accident. Cherry left the
bus to provide emergency first aid to
the pedestrian who had been
injured.
In March Cherry received a com-
mendation from the Aurora Police
Department for her "meritorious
contributions to the Aurora Police
Department and the public it serves."
Aurora Chief of Police Gerald
Williams praised her unselfish
attitude and willingness to become
involved. Her quick action, he said,
"prevented the pedestrian from going
into shock and reduced the serious-
ness of her injuries."
Cherry has been an operating room
technician at SJH for four and one-
half years. Director of Surgery, Kay
Lange, RN, said, "It doesn't surprise
me that she would hop off a bus to
help someone because she shows
the same caring attitude here at
work."�
