MD Match

Congratulations to our new MD matches! All the departments were anxiously awaiting the news of our newest additions and we are happy to say excitement is in the air! The Resident Auxiliary is starting the plans for all the welcome activities we will be participating in and hosting this June and are looking forward to seeing you at the welcome events.
In order to help you out even more with the move, we have included the phone numbers for the most popular services (t.v., phone, internet, etc...)in our resources section on the website. Just click on it and open the document to find the numbers. As the moving dates get closer we'll post a blog about the most important things to do prior to moving (such as setting up a date to get your cable and internet hooked up) that might be difficult to schedule with the large influx of new residents to the Danville area.
We hope that everyone is pleased with their match and are looking forward to moving to Central PA! Remember, use our Real Estate listings to find a home to buy or an apartment to rent!

Good Luck!

Welcome Warm Weather!

What a fabulous weekend of weather we are having! This weekend we took our first "spring" walk around the neighborhood and around the hospital, it was gorgeous out! We are crossing our fingers for this weather to stay put now. All the tulips and lilies in the neighborhood are starting to come up now, it must mean spring is in the air.
This past auxiliary meeting was great! We were able to discuss the upcoming elections (in April!) and the Easter Egg Hunt that we will be having the first weekend in April. The Easter egg hunt will be at the Ronald McDonald house playground here at Geisinger Medical Center. It is for the resident families as well as the Ronald McDonald families. We are hoping for nice weather for an outdoor hunt but if it is rainy we will move it into the hospital most likely and possibly more kids will be able to join us. We will be stuffing all of the eggs at the April Auxiliary Meeting, as well as having a pizza "party" during the stuffing, so it should be a fun social meeting.

Since we are gearing up for new families getting here, I thought that I would make a short list of the fun things the Moms, Dads and Kiddos can do during the week.
1. Free Library Read Aloud - Thursday's at 10:30
2. Free Music and Movement - Tuesday's at the Library at 10:30
3. MOPS Group
4. Bloomsburg Childrens Museum Classes
5. Auxiliary functions and playdates

The list goes on, this is a just a taste of things to do, free or for a small fee.

We are still anxiously counting down the days to the MD match (only 11 to go)! We can't wait to be able to welcome everyone to Geisinger.

Have a great week!
