The Clara Barton Hospital Auxiliary 250 West 9th Street Hoisington, Kansas 67544

The Clara Barton Hospital Auxiliary has been an active, community partner for the hospital since the auxiliary was first organized in 1953.
 
Although many changes have been made in medicine during these 40 years, commitment to the continuation of local medical services have never wavered.  With an emphasis on providing medically related scholarships each year, Clara Barton Hospital Auxiliary has seen many of the auxiliary's scholarship recipients return to work in the hospital or in the area.
 
Recent remodeling and decorating projects are a visible sign of hospital auxiliary support for the hospital.  The Pink Ladies are the hospital auxiliary's in-hospital volunteers who walk the extra steps and add sunshine to the patients' mornings.  Behind the scene hospital auxiliary projects are just as valuable.  The purchase of office chairs, operating room equipment, a wheel chair scale, fetal monitor cart, hospital beds, etc., are an indication of the auxiliary's efforts.
 
Project funding comes from a variety of auxiliary sponsored activities.  The Holiday Shopper, sponsored by the Auxiliary is an annual "old-fashioned bazaar" attracting 1,000 exhibitors and shoppers.  The 10th Annual Holiday Shopper was held Saturday, November 1, 1997 at the Hoisington Middle School.  The day concluded with an auction featuring a variety of items including bears to go with this year's theme "Have a Beary Merry Christmas."
 
Some other fund raisers include making floral deliveries for Mother's and Valentine's Days, a mid-summer dance, and a Candle Light Memorial Service held in December.
