The St. Gabriel’s
Hospital Auxiliary
In the
1940s,
volunteers
began
serving
our
hospital
by
delivering
flowers and mail. The auxiliary officially
formed in 1946 with 30 members.
Today, the membership total is over
270 and growing. The number of ways
auxiliary members are serving St. Gabriel’s
Hospital is also expanding. In 1986, the
auxiliary began operating a Gift Shop on
the ground floor of the hospital, adding
another “opportunity to serve,” which is
the underlying mission for all auxiliary
activities.
