Peninsula Hospital Auxiliary is made up of over 200 members.  Their contributions to the Hospital Center are many and diverse – member volunteers can be found working collaboratively with the American Cancer Society distributing daffodils and a smile to cancer patients in the spring as well as greeting and directing visitors in the lobby.  Our Auxiliary volunteers also enthusiastically run successful book sales, flower sales and jewelry sales for the purpose of raising money for the Hospital Center.  “Our service group depends upon many small donations to make up large donations to the Hospital Center,” says Sheila Schwartz, President.  Over the past four years alone, the Peninsula Hospital Auxiliary has donated nearly $25,000.00 which has been utilized for such worthwhile projects such as the hospital’s acquisition of new state-of-the-art mammography technology. 

The Peninsula Hospital Auxiliary meets every first Tuesday of every month for a combination social and informative luncheon meeting at the Hospital Center.  Membership and guests are usually addressed by a member of the Hospital Center’s staff who explains new programs, services, procedures, new treatments available at the Hospital Center or, on a health topic of particular concern such as emergency preparedness.
