HSHS St. Joseph's Hospital Auxiliary Volunteers Needed

The Auxiliary was founded in 1968 by a group of women who wanted to help patients of St. Joseph’s Hospital in Highland. Beside volunteering, the Auxiliary holds fundraisers throughout the year with proceeds going to purchase equipment used by the hospital. St. Joseph’s Auxiliary also awards two $2,000 scholarships to deserving seniors wishing to further their education in health care. These scholarships are open to students in Highland High School, Father McGivney High School and Breese Mater Dei High School.
 
Sherry Fletcher shared her experience about being an Auxiliary volunteer at St. Joseph’s. “I retired from a full-time job and needed something to keep me busy. I enjoy being with other people the most and helping any way I can,” she explained. “It’s the best way to make new friends and I have made many! It’s a great way to get involved and meet new people and by volunteering, you are helping the staff and patients.”
 
There is a small $10 annual membership fee to become a member of the Auxiliary. If you or someone you know is interested in ways to stay active in the community while helping others, please contact Jeannie Korte, director of mission, at jean.korte@hshs.org, or by calling 618-651-2980.
