Hospital Auxiliaries

Advancing our hospitals’ mission for over a century

At each of WellSpan’s five hospital auxiliary organizations, dedicated community members like you are volunteering their time and services to support the mission of their local WellSpan hospital.

We’re elevating our hospitals' efforts to provide personal, quality care to our neighbors.

Supporting the health of our community

The auxiliaries are people-serving organizations that advocate for improved community health through innovative programs, preventive education, community partnerships and fundraising. Our members volunteer their time and talents in many areas of the hospital.

Compassion, devotion and courtesy are just a few qualities that would make you an amazing auxiliary member. Your contributions are vital to our hospitals and to WelllSpan staff, administration and patients.
