SINCE ARCHBOLD
Memorial
Hospital opened, there has been an
active group of citizens who give the
hospital their support and assistance.
Originally, the Auxiliary was a women’s
board authorized by the hospital’s board
of trustees in May of 1925. The volunteer
corps promoted and advanced the wel-
fare of the hospital. Over time, this group
was reorganized to become the Hospital
Auxiliary, with men, women and youth
serving in many areas.
“Volunteers donate an enormous
amount of time and effort to the hos-
pital,” says Michelle Collins, Director of
Volunteer Service at Archbold. “Funds
are raised through the gift shops, as
well as numerous annual events. The
funds raised purchase equipment, fur-
nish rooms and keep the hospital at the
forefront of technology.”
