Herrin Hospital

Herrin Hospital Auxiliary

Herrin Hospital Auxiliary was organized in 1982 and has approximately 150 members. It is very much involved in many areas of the hospital, and you will recognize volunteers by their pink smocks or burgundy vests and their bright smiling faces. Dues are $5.00 per year for the period beginning April 1. The auxiliary’s annual membership meeting is held each year in March, when new officers are elected and installed.
