What is the Auxiliary?

Founded on a tradition of giving the Guthrie County Hospital Auxiliary is a non-profit service organization whose mission is to work in conjunction with the Guthrie County Hospital by volunteering to promote the health of our community.

This volunteer organization augments the programs and services of Guthrie County Hospital by hosting numerous fundraising activities throughout the year, presenting monetary gifts to the hospital to aid in the purchase of new equipment. Their contributions are far reaching and provide valuable benefits for the patients, families and employees of Guthrie County Hospital.
