Auxiliary
Members manage our Gift Case located at the main entrance of the hospital, and strive to have a variety of gifts available at all times for all ages. This Gift Case is filled with useful, creative, and seasonal items, many hand-made and all reasonably priced. These tasteful gifts are appropriate not just for hospital patients, but for friends and family members as well.
Our Auxiliary also holds annual fundraisers, such as the Women’s Health Day Luncheon each September welcoming featured speakers and many exhibitors, all while enjoying a delicious salad and sandwich luncheon.
The Pillow-Perk is held in October, offering a great opportunity to have your feather pillows made brand new! Kraft Pillow Service cleans your feathers then fills them into brand new ticking, truly making them new again.
They also hold a garage sale each June during the Waukon City-Wide Garage sales.
All the money the Auxiliary receives goes back to the hospital for equipment. We have purchased numerous items for the hospital with our fundraising dollars including an ER cart, an EKG machine, the Birthing Tub, a fetal heart monitor and infant warmer for OB, patient weigh beds, blanket warmers, infant hearing screening machine, treatment room renovations, carbon monoxide testing machines, surgery sterilizer, NuStep machine for Rehabilitation and the list goes on and on. Our funds are always put to very good use!
