About JMH Auxiliary
The Johnson Memorial Hospital Auxiliary has been supporting JMH since 1913. Today, the Auxiliary is comprised of volunteers from throughout the Hospital's service area who share a common interest in the health and wellbeing of their family, friends and neighbors. A lot has changed over the past 100 years, but their dedication to this community is as strong as ever.
The Auxiliary conducts annual fundraising events and outreach activities, and also operates a successful gift shop in the JMH lobby that serves not only as a profitable venture, but as an important service to patients, visitors and staff.
