Welcome to the Kona Community Hospital Auxiliary. The Auxiliary
provides the volunteer support base for service, fund-raising and
friend-raising for Kona Community Hospital.
Membership in the Auxiliary is open to women and men eighteen years or older (with exceptions) of all backgrounds and abilities, who are interested in providing services to patients which the staff would not normally provide. Volunteers help
the staff in Administration and data processing; are involved in
patient interactions such as healing touch or assisting with
long-term care patients; provide patient services such as Carts with
Heart; volunteer in the gift shop or help with the weekly bake sale at
the cafeteria. Auxiliary volunteers assist the Foundation in
fundraising activities such as the annual Hope Event, Ladies Night Out and also participate in the many community
parades and activities representing the Auxiliary and Kona Community
Hospital.
The Auxiliary
provides a number of nursing scholarships and continuing education
funds for KCH nurses. The Auxiliary may also fund special
requests from various hospital departments for un-budgeted
necessities.
The Auxiliary
provides a communication link between the community and the Kona
Community Hospital. Community inputs through the Auxiliary are
welcomed and warmly received by the administration and staff. |
