Amador County – Sutter Amador Hospital Auxiliary held its annual officer installment ceremony Sept. 19 in Sutter Amador Hospital’s Mission Café.

Officials said SAH “Auxiliary contributes to the Hospital in many ways. Members volunteer their time to a variety of areas including the gift shop, concierge cart, information desk, thrift shop and various departments throughout the hospital.”

Officers were sworn in for the 2011-2012 calendar year. President is Cathy Smith; Laurie Davis is First Vice President; Grace Nolan is Second Vice President and Membership Chair; Kathy Glunt is Secretary; Reverie Totten is Treasurer; and Susan LeMasters is Parliamentarian. During the ceremony, service awards were also presented to several Auxiliary members who reached a landmark number of service hours – many reaching 1,000 or more hours.

Hospital staff said “funds raised by the Auxiliary are returned to the hospital in the form of needed medical equipment for patient care services.” Over the years, the Auxiliary has “provided many scholarships for nursing students and others studying a clinical field. Through these investments in the hospital and in the caregivers, our Auxiliary helps ensure quality medical care for our community.”

People interested in becoming an Auxiliary member are asked to stop by the hospital to pick up an application or call (209)223-7500.
