The Auxiliary contributes to Sutter Amador 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. Funds raised by the Auxiliary are returned to the hospital in the form of needed medical equipment for patient care services. Over the years, they have also 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. New members are always welcome!
