Ellsworth County Medical Center Auxiliary

Ellsworth County Medical Center Auxiliary ECMC Auxiliary Mission: Enhancing ECMC healthcare through service and comfort.

The Ellsworth County Medical Center Auxiliary was founded over 50 years ago with a desire to provide support for their medical center and for their community. The Auxiliary is comprised of volunteers who assist ECMC in providing the best patient care possible. Auxiliary Annual Events:
Spring Event: Color Run
Fall Event: Heartland Harvest Wine Tasting

Projects: Caring Covers
The Ellsworth County Medical Center Hospital Auxiliary also stands as a pillar of compassion and support, diligently dedicating their efforts to enhance the well-being of inpatients through the heartfelt provision of comforting blankets. Their initiative, rooted in kindness and empathy, revolves around creating and distributing soft, cozy blankets to those undergoing medical care within the hospital's walls. With each blanket the auxiliary seeks to alleviate the challenges and anxieties patients face during their hospital stay. These blankets symbolize not only physical warmth but also the emotional comfort that emanates from a community's collective embrace. By extending this simple yet powerful gesture, the Ellsworth County Medical Center Hospital Auxiliary spreads comfort and hope, nurturing a sense of healing and reassurance within the hearts of the patients we serve.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every Member Matters! Becoming a member and offering support to the Auxiliary is a significant contribution to the well-being of our community and to the efficiency of our healthcare services. The Hospital Auxiliary plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall patient experience by providing much-needed assistance and resources to the hospital. By joining this volunteer driven organization, you directly contribute to the betterment of healthcare facilities and services within our community. Members of the Auxiliary help in fundraising, organizing events, and facilitating various programs that directly benefit patients, their families, and the hospital staff. Whether it's purchasing medical equipment, or providing comfort to patients, your involvement can help ensure that the hospital can offer optimal care and improve the lives of those we serve. Additionally, being part of the Hospital Auxiliary allows individuals to connect with like-minded individuals, forge meaningful relationships, and experience the rewarding satisfaction of giving back to the community. Ultimately, your support and membership in a Hospital Auxiliary can make a lasting, positive impact on the healthcare landscape and the lives of many. Auxiliary officers are elected by the members during the December meeting and agree to serve two-year terms. Auxiliary memberships are open to anyone who wishes to contribute their time, talents, and/or resources to assist in promoting and bettering their local medical center (ECMC). Membership dues are just $10 annually or lifetime memberships are available (these dues are based on an age scale). Meetings are held monthly on the second Tuesday of each month, between October to May. Meetings are held at 10:00am in the ECMC Administrative Building Conference Room (building located directly behind the Hospital), 1706 Aylward Ave, Ellsworth KS.
