Auxiliary
For more than 100 years the UVM Health Network - Alice Hyde Medical Center Auxiliary has had a strong presence in our community. Early members helped facilitate the initial building of the hospital and have since aided in the expansion and construction of several other buildings on the Medical Center’s campus.
What Does The Auxiliary Do?
The Auxiliary is a vital link between the Medical Center and the community. Volunteer members help the hospital to purchase new medical equipment through fundraising activities and provide scholarships to local students pursuing a medical career. The Auxiliary is the largest outright donor to the medical center, supporting health care initiatives and services across the organization.
