The HCHC Auxiliary was formed in 1962 to promote the mission of Henry County Health Center through activities, programs and fundraising approved by the Auxiliary membership and the HCHC Board of Trustees. Over 40 years later we continue this valuable volunteer work. Our $5 dues paid yearly are used to support health career scholarships, equipment purchases and numerous other community and hospital programs. Every fall we hold a Soup Supper and a handmade Quilt raffle to raise money for the healthcare scholarships.
Members are asked to help with this once-a-year fundraiser by either donating a few hours of their time, a food or baked good donation, or a small monetary donation.
You don't have to commit a large amount of time to the Auxiliary; just being a member shows your support. However, if you want to get involved, there are numerous volunteer opportunities.
Are you ready to join this fun and rewarding organization? Call Jan at (319) 385-6524 for more information, or mail your $5 dues to HCHC Auxiliary, 407 S. White Street, Mt. Pleasant, IA 52641.
All Auxiliary members are invited to our monthly meetings, which are held on the second Monday of every month at 9:00 a.m. in Classroom A-1 at Henry County Health Center.
