The Auxiliary of Good Samaritan Hospital

Are you looking for a positive way in which to volunteer or share your time with the community? Then you may wish to consider taking part in the activities of the Good Samaritan Hospital Auxiliary.

What is the Auxiliary?

The Auxiliary is a support group of Good Samaritan Hospital.
Since 1951 the dedicated members of the Auxiliary have contributed to the livelihood of the hospital through fundraising events, volunteer work and the operation of the gift shop. Annual proceeds from these activities help support vital programs and services.

Some of the past projects that have benefited from these activities are facility and program improvements in the areas of the Perinatal Center, the Child Care Center, the Breast Care Center, and the Emergency Room. Funds have also been used to purchase two patient transport vehicles, car seats for newborns of needy parents, and in the funding of the annual Junior Volunteer Scholarships given to worthy community area students planning to make healthcare their future career choice.

Who are the Members?

Auxiliary members share a deep affection for Good Samaritan Hospital. They include former patients, community and business leaders, physicians or spouses of physicians, and long-standing friends of the hospital from our surrounding communities.

In addition to vital fundraising activities, members and their guests gather at three general meetings during the year: Fall, Winter and Spring – to hear timely medical lectures given by in-house specialists or to take part in tours and events around Los Angeles. Each meeting offers education, camaraderie, and a delicious lunch at a local restaurant or a member’s home.
