A Proud Tradition of Enhancing Patient Care
The Hospital Auxiliary was formed in 1952 with the original mission "to give patient service."  Auxilians staffed visitor's desks, provided service as floor volunteers and made drapes for the Hospital's solarium.

Today's Auxiliary focuses its efforts on fundraising projects to support the Hospital and benefit the community.  To find our more about the auxiliary, call (585) 335-4355.
