Auxiliary Volunteers Lend Valuable Support
The Auxiliary began in 1958 when Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital opened its doors. Over the past 50 years, the Auxiliary has provided an excess of one million volunteer service hours and has raised well over $1 million dollars which was used to purchase needed equipment. In honor of their contributions to our hospital, the SNMH Foundation named the Auxiliary “Volunteers of the Year” in 2007.
However, it is on a daily basis that the hospital feels the Auxiliary’s influence. Volunteers are the first to greet a patient and their families and provide service to departments in need of additional support. The following departments are served by the Auxiliary members:
- Cancer Center
- Emergency Department
- Diagnostic Center
- Gift Shop
- Main Lobby Desk
- Outpatient Lobby Desk
- Nursing Floors
- Surgical Services
In addition, the Auxiliary Volunteers assist other departments in clerical capacities and work on special projects for the Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Foundation. The SNMH Auxiliary is active in fundraising and hosting a variety of events throughout the year. Again, the funds raised by the Auxiliary are used to purchase or supplement equipment needed by the hospital. The Auxiliary always welcomes new volunteers. Applications can be obtained at the Main Lobby Desk, the Outpatient Lobby Desk, at the Diagnostic Center or you can also click here to download an application and return it to the address listed below.
