Auxiliary Membership | Fundraising

The term "auxiliary" can be defined "to offer help, assistance or support." This is exactly what we do. When you volunteer your services at the hospital, you demonstrate a desire to contribute toward making the patients more comfortable and better served. In so doing, you are helping the staff of the hospital.

Community Outreach
The Auxiliary has health education programs to meet the needs of children, teens, older adults and special needs groups.

SHIIP (Senior Health Insurance Information Program) volunteers are trained by the Iowa Insurance Division to help clients understand Medicare billing. They also assist in problem solving, filling appeals, paying bills, and providing information about supplemental and long-term care insurance.

Scholarships
The MMC-NH Auxiliary has made it possible to award several scholarships each year. Please click here for a complete description of scholarships and application forms.
