Memorial Community Hospital Volunteers are members of a special group of individuals who provide supplemental services for the hospital. Volunteers span a large cross-section of our community and their assistance is greatly appreciated.
MCH Auxiliary
The MCH Auxiliary has more than 200 active members and their history of involvement and support of the hospital goes back to the 1950s, when the community was raising funds to build the hospital. The purpose of the MCH Auxiliary is to promote and to advance the welfare of Memorial Community Hospital & Health System. This is accomplished in a variety of ways. The rewards of volunteering include:
- Meeting everyday people who share a common commitment to giving back and to making a difference in our world
- Accepting new challenges
- Being a part of a caring, professional team of health care providers
- The wonderful feeling you get from helping others.

) if you're interested in volunteering. We can support large groups.
Service League volunteers assist Memorial Community Hospital staff by greeting patrons as they come to Memorial Community Hospital. Additional duties of Service League volunteers include delivering materials, running errands, helping departments with various duties, and helping guests find their way.
Volunteer Chaplains of all denominations provide spiritual support for patients, family members and employees at Memorial Community Hospital. Chaplains make rounds in the hospital, and offer prayer and support to those in need.
Volunteers are a very important component of our hospice program at MCH&HS Home Health and Hospice. They provide extra physical and emotional support to terminally-ill patients and their families during a very difficult time. Though compassion and skillful caring, they help make life more meaningful.
