Dartmouth General Hospital Auxiliary 50th Anniversary - Member Statement

CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : I rise to recognize the Dartmouth General Hospital Auxiliary, which is celebrating its 50 years of service this year.

Since its earliest days, the auxiliary's dedicated members have enhanced patient care by providing resources and financial support to help fund essential hospital equipment, programs, the healing garden, and a yearly bursary for a Dartmouth high school student pursuing a medical-related program at a university or community college.

The auxiliary's primary fundraiser is the Corner Shoppe at the Dartmouth General Hospital, which they organize, staff, and run completely with volunteer power. Over the years, the incredible volunteers there have fundraised and donated over $2 million to the Dartmouth General Hospital.

Please join me in thanking this essential group of community-minded volunteers for their work and congratulating the auxiliary on its 50th anniversary.
