Richards Memorial Hospital Auxiliary

Volunteers are crucial to the success of LRHS Richards Memorial Hospital. As a volunteer, you are an important part of our team and bring a special, personal touch to patient care at Richards Memorial Hospital.  RMH Auxiliary members are all ages and can be involved in a variety of activities to assist with patient care, both directly and indirectly.  This is an excellent opportunity to give back to your community, help others, and learn more about the healthcare industry.

Each year, the RMH Auxiliary chooses a large project to work on that will help improve quality of care at Richards Memorial Hospital.  In 2006, the auxiliary donated a beautiful gazebo to the assisted living garden area.  The gazebo provides a cool, shaded area for residents to visit with family and friends.  To contribute to each project, the auxiliary holds a bi-annual cookie sale held in the fall and spring in which members bake homemade cookies and sale throughout the community.  The first annual RMH Auxiliary Christmas Tea was held in 2006 and showcased local artists and musicians.  In addition to assisting patients, these are a few ways an auxiliary member can volunteer.

In alignment with the LRHS mission, the RMH auxiliary believes the education of our community to be a top priority.  Therefore, each year the auxiliary awards a $500 scholarship to a college-bound member of our community.

Volunteers are important members of the community who share their time, talents, and passions with our patients and their families, and it makes all the difference.  To learn more about becoming a volunteer, auxiliary projects and fundraisers, and scholarship opportunities contact:
