The Auxiliary’s Purpose

Auxilians share the common goal of providing caring aid and comfort to patients and families as well as assistance to staff that care for patients. The stated purpose of the Auxiliary is three-fold:

to provide compassionate service to patients, hospital staff and the community
to serve as goodwill ambassadors for the hospital
to fulfill fundraising pledges to the hospital for equipmehases, education, services and building projects

The current multi-year pledge is for $1 million to be donated toward the new Williamson Blvd. campus construction.
