About the Auxiliary:
Since 1960, the Barton Memorial Hospital (BMH) Auxiliary has been an active group of volunteers who give generously of their time and talents to support Barton Memorial Hospital, its patients and the community. The auxiliary members assist the hospital in promoting the health and welfare of the community in accordance with objectives established by the BMH Board of Directors.
The volunteers are dedicated citizens who make a difference in our community, with community blood drives, the Health Fair, Lab Draws and Flu Shot clinics as well as numerous other activities. Their support of Barton Hospital is greatly appreciated by the hospital staff, physicians, patients, visitors and community.
The Auxiliary raises and donates funds each year to the hospital through special events, such as the annual: Book Fairs, Fashion Show; Holiday Faire; and Cheese Ball sales. The distribution of these funds is at the hospital’s sole discretion. Larger financial support comes through sales at the Hospital Gift Shop and The Attic Thrift Store.
If you are looking for an activity that offers remarkable rewards and fulfillment, the Barton Memorial Hospital Auxiliary may have the right opportunity for you.
