Auxiliary 50th Anniversary

St. Anthony's Heffernan House is staffed and supported by Auxiliary members

Have you ever stayed in St. Anthony’s Heffernan Hospitality House or visited our gift and flower shop? Then you've connected with St. Anthony’s Auxiliary, a group of more than 300 men and women who work together on community service, social events and fund raising projects to help the hospital defray the cost of equipment and facilities.

The Auxiliary, founded in 1962, just wrapped up its 50th anniversary last year. Over the years, the Auxiliary has raised more than $11.5 million for programs and improvements at the medical center. They include major renovations recently to Heffernan House to make the home more inviting to patients and their families who need a place to stay for a night or a week. “The house is occupied 90 percent of the time,” says Dot Schillinger, volunteer coordinator at Heffernan House. “We often hear from families months and even years after they've stayed here, telling us what a comfort it was to have a ‘home’ right here on campus.”

Are you interested in joining the auxiliary? Give us a call at 314-ANTHONY and you can be a part of the next 50 years!
