The gift shop was opened by the Volunteer Service Organization (VSO), Inc. of Columbia Regional Hospital on April 3, 1976. Mary McElroy, Gift Shop Chairman at the time, started the gift shop and it was a unanimous decision by the VSO Board of Directors to name the shop “The Wishing Well”. The gift shop has been a wonderful part of the culture of Columbia Regional Hospital since that time.
Our gift shop is staffed primarily of volunteers from the VSO. All profits from the gift shop benefit patient programs through the VSO. Our volunteers know that a simple gift can brighten a patient’s day and that is why they are available to help you select the right gift for your loved one.
