Auxiliary Purpose

The Hamilton Memorial Hospital District Auxiliary was established in 1960 as a volunteer organization whose work benefits the operation of the hospital and enriches the working environment of all staff. The Auxiliary is dedicated to raising funds, creating hospital awareness, and building a network to support the hospital district.  The efforts of the Auxiliary have enabled the purchase of well-needed equipment, renovations, and other pertinent resources to continually support the hospital staff and facilities.
