OSF Holy Family Auxiliary
OSF Holy Family is very fortunate to have such a beautiful and updated facility, served by over 130 active volunteers and 387 supporting members.
Our volunteers provide a variety of support services, donating over 27,000 hours each year, and an annual gift to the hospital, averaging $30,000.
Services to the hospital include hospital escort, mail sorting and delivery, gift shop, information desk, dietary assistance, sewing projects, community health projects, and outpatient host/hostess.
History
In 1953, the Monmouth Hospital Auxiliary was organized by the Monmouth Business and Professional Women's Club. The principal objective of the group was to provide additional service to patients in the hospital. A secondary objective was to assist the hospital financially.
In 1970 the membership was open only to women interested in the hospital. In 1985, the first man joined the Auxiliary. Their role was principally gardening.
Objectives
Today, the objectives of the Auxiliary remain the same, and are outlined in their by-laws as follows:
