We’re often asked who is The Sheridan Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. The SMH Auxiliary was founded in 1945 with a single purpose in mind – to make a positive difference in the lives of the patients and the hospital itself. This unique group of individuals comes together, day after day, to support our mission, the staff, patients, and the community that we live in. At the heart of the Auxiliary’s mission is their unwavering commitment to ensuring that every patient feels cared for during their stay at Sheridan Memorial Hospital.
The Auxiliary’s efforts range from fundraising to volunteering their time, all directed toward supporting and enhancing the hospital’s services. They understand that a hospital visit could be a daunting experience, and thus, they embark on various initiatives to create an environment of warmth, kindness, and comfort.
These volunteers ensure that the traditions of our hospital live on through Trees of Love and 5-year-old Birthday parties. They presently gift patients of all ages with baby books, scrubby bears, or Gifts of Kindness during the holidays to provide comfort during their stay. They raise funds through all their projects and donate tens of thousands of dollars and volunteer hours to ensure a future for your community hospital. Since their founding almost eighty years ago, this group of volunteers and leaders have financially supported nearly every department and project at Sheridan Memorial Hospital.
In supporting the auxiliary, we become catalysts for kindness and provide excellent patient-centered care, right here at home. Each contribution to their efforts grows their ability to enact meaningful care. Supporting the Auxiliary isn’t merely about writing a check or attending an annual event; it is about becoming an integral part of our efforts to instill comfort and healing in our patients and the entire community.
