Auxiliary members join together to foster a supportive family spirit that supports patient care, community services and employees: and always upholds the hospital and its mission. As a volunteer, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you are making a contribution to the quality of healthcare provided in the community. (download our brochure for details)

Make a donation to the Memorial Hospital Auxiliary's Tree of Remembrance Fund.
The Auxiliary is able to assist the hospital in purchasing needed equipment for various departments through the community's generous donations and memorials. Funds collected this year will be used to purchase an BladderScan i10 for the Emergency Department.
The bladder scanner purchase for ER will enable us to detect and define bladder location, size, shape and the amount of fluid in the bladder, automatically in seconds. This non-invasive portable tool will help the patients get a quicker diagnosis, management and treatment of urinary outflow dysfunction.
During the holiday season we invite you to contribute in honor of a loved one. Your contribution and memorial are recognized weekly on Facebook and will be published in the County Journal at the end of the Tree of Remembrance drive.
Those wishing to make a donation or memorial contribution in honor of a loved one may do so by mailing it to:
