VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Our Auxiliary was formed in 1967 by a group of individuals
in the community who wanted to support the hospital. At their
first meeting, they simply defined their intention of the
group by saying they wanted "to serve the hospital."
Throughout the years, the Auxiliary has truly served the
hospital and its community in untold ways, enriching the
lives of those they have touched.
Today, we have over 100 men and women who are a part of our
Auxiliary – donating their time and talents to continue
the intent of the original founders: to serve the hospital.
This is done through a variety of services provided by the
Auxiliary including sponsorship of the annual John Harden
Scholarship, monetary contributions for building campaigns
and equipment purchases, the operation of a gift and coffee
shop for the convenience of visitors, patients and employees
and planning fundraisers like bake sales and the annual golf
tournament.
The Mission of the Auxiliary is to render service to Cannon
Memorial Hospital and its patients.

Our volunteers are very valuable at Cannon and we want to
reward their efforts with benefits. Each volunteer receives
a free meal each time they work at the hospital, they receive
free flu shots each year, a free mammogram (for women) and
PSA screening (for men). We honor the volunteers with a
banquet each year at Christmas.
Each volunteer is required to take a two-step PPD test which
is given by the hospital and is free of charge. You must also
participate in the annual safety training and demonstrate
knowledge of safety issues. You must pay your annual dues
and attend monthly meetings held on the first Thursday of
each month – September through May. Auxiliary members
are asked to participate in projects and serve on a committee
of their choice. But most of all, our Auxiliary members should
have a giving heart and a smile on their face.
If you are interested in becoming an Auxiliary member, please
contact Amanda Dow at (864) 898-1252.
