Memorial Hospital Auxiliary gives their final donation to Memorial Hospital. The Auxiliary which was founded in 1950 has been a consistent helping hand for many years purchasing new equipment for the hospital and senior services; running the gift shop; bringing treats to the staff; giving out scholarships to local people going in to the health care field; and in general, always being available whenever we needed help with anything. With this last donation, they gave over $7,600 to purchase new bedside tables for each patient room in the hospital. Raigan Brown, Director of Nursing at Memorial Hospital noted “The bedside tables have been a wonderful addition to each patient room at the hospital. The functionality of the tables is much easier for the patients and staff to use. We were also able to get a beautiful color to match our cabinetry in each room. We are very appreciative of the Auxiliary and everything they have done for the hospital and staff over the years!”
