About the CAH Auxiliary
The Carthage Area Hospital Auxiliary is comprised of men and women who volunteer to support the hospital and believe that it’s an integral part of their communities. Through their efforts, the Auxiliary helps to purchase much-needed hospital equipment.
The Auxiliary presents opportunities to interact with and meet new people, try out skills and uncover hidden talents to make valuable, personal contributions that help to improve the hospital. How much a member volunteers is up to the individual — a few hours a day, week, or month, or on a special project.
The cost to join is minimal: $5 for regular membership; $4 senior citizen and $50 for life membership. The Auxiliary also manages the hospital gift shop, which provides moderately priced merchandise for staff and patients.
Contact the Auxiliary Membership Committee, 315-493-1000, ext. 5207, to learn more about becoming a member.
