A smile crossed Karen Teige’s face as she fondly remembered.
“I thought, wow, this is what it’s all about,” she said. Teige is the president of the Bartow Regional Medical Center auxiliary, which coordinates the medical center’s volunteers. Teige has held the presidency the past five years. She has been a volunteer the last 10 years.
