About the Auxiliary
GRMC’s auxiliary has the distinction of being one of the oldest continuing hospital volunteer organizations in Iowa. The current auxiliary is historically linked to the very earliest of healthcare services in Grinnell.
It was on February 12, 1968, that the auxiliaries of Community Hospital and St. Francis merged to form the Grinnell General Hospital Auxiliary. Community Hospital Auxiliary dated back to 1924 and St. Francis Auxiliary was founded in 1933.
Today, GRMC places great value on its auxiliary, not only in terms of services and financial support, but as goodwill ambassadors in the community.
