Auxiliary
The Women’s Auxiliary of Pioneers Memorial
Hospital was established the same year the hospital open in 1950 by a group of
community-minded women, primarily residing in the north-end of Imperial County.
Their goal then was to make Pioneers Memorial Hospital the best and most modern
health care facility in the region. They strongly believe they have
accomplished their goal and continue to support PMH to insure that it remains
the premiere hospital in the region focused on women’s health and pediatric
care.
The Women’s Auxiliary has donated over $954,000
since 1952 for scholarships, medical equipment and furnishings for the Pioneers
Memorial Healthcare District. In the last four years some of the gifts include
the five furnished birthing rooms in the Women’s Center, Endoscopy video
equipment and
a bone density machine. Along with the PMH Foundation, the Women’s
Auxiliary donated $50,000 towards the indoor aquatic therapy pool located in the
physical therapy department at Pioneers Memorial Hospital.
Each year the Auxiliary awards scholarship to
students enrolled in the Imperial Valley Nursing Program. As of 2006, the total
contribution for scholarship is over $185,000. All recipients are residents of
the Imperial Valley.
The Women’s Auxiliary operates the Gift Shop
with the profits donated to the various projects selected to support PMH. The
gift shop is on the first floor of the hospital adjacent to the cafeteria.
The gift shop is the noted as the best boutique
in the north-end of the County.
In addition to the gift shop, the Auxiliary
raises funds by two annual “Country Kitchen” bake sales. Many members of the
Auxiliary are renowned cooks, and the bake sales are always a best seller in the
Valley. They also sponsor other events each year as fundraisers.
