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.

Membership

The HMHD Auxiliary is open to anyone who would like to join. Current members come from all walks of life, choosing to serve for a variety of reasons. There is no fee to be a part of the Auxiliary.

Meetings

The HMHD Auxiliary meets regularly on the first Thursday of each month. For more information about joining the Auxiliary, please contact Hospital Administration at 618-643-2361, ext. 4802.

Auxiliary Leadership

The Auxiliary is led by a team of officers, including the President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Additional opportunities for service are available through committees such as the Administrative Committee, Historical Committee, Volunteer Committee, and Nominating Committee. General members are not required to serve in leadership positions or on special committees.

Supporting Causes

Each year, the Auxiliary hosts multiple fundraising events and efforts.  The annual Book, Purse, and Puzzle sale is the largest event.  The sale is held at the hospital each October and is open to staff and the community.  Additional fundraisers, including raffles and item sales are held periodically.
