Firelands Health is proud to recognize Jae Hong as our September volunteer of the month.

Jae has been a volunteer for six years, beginning her service in the Gift Shops in 2019. Originally from Hamyang, South Korea, she moved to Sandusky, Ohio, with her husband, Dr. Young Kyu Hong.

Jae and her husband have three children and four grandchildren. They are spread across the globe, from Toledo, Ohio, to Thousand Oaks, California and Shanghai, China. Jae especially loves connecting with them through FaceTime when they aren’t visiting.

In her free time, Jae enjoys yoga, cooking, decorating, golfing, and gardening. She is also an active member in her church, where she serves as a deacon and assists with hospitality, often preparing delicious meals for her fellow parishioners.

Jae’s favorite part of volunteering at Firelands is the opportunity to pay it forward. She finds great joy in helping others and says, “Firelands is such a nice place to volunteer. It has such a good environment.”

Thank you, Jae, for your kindness, warmth, and continued dedication to Firelands Health. We are truly grateful for all that you do.
