Volunteering as an Auxiliary Member
Auxiliary volunteers play a
huge role in ensuring positive patient and family satisfaction.
The donation of time to those in need can go a long way in helping to provide

personal fulfillment in helping others. Auxiliary Members provide service in
non-patient care areas.
