Auxiliary

Helping our hospital help you

The Cambridge Memorial Hospital Auxiliary's faithful service has produced literally thousands of dollars for needed medical equipment and other support to the Tri Valley Health System from the Thrift Shop, a store in downtown Cambridge operated by the Auxiliary.

"It is one of the busiest stores in town," says Judy Jackson, president of the Cambridge Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. "Many of the items sell for a dime or a quarter, but we're open every day and all the help and merchandise is donated. It is a labor of love which inspires a spirit of giving."

How the Auxiliary has helped

The Auxiliary's record of giving includes a $75,000 contribution to the Tri Valley Medical Foundation as well as contributions to every department in the hospital, local nursing homes, schools, EMTs and in support of a physician drive. To date, the Auxiliary's contributions to the medical community have totaled more than $200,000. The Auxiliary also awards an annual scholarship in memory of long-time member, Maxine Price, who served for many years as the Auxiliary President.

Current officers are Judy Jackson, president; Georgia Dutt, vice president; Jaccie Morgan, secretary; Donna Pearson, treasurer; and Mae Groshong, historian.
