Additional Information on the Auxiliary...

The Marlborough Hospital Auxiliary was founded in 1892 and is currently being served by its 63rd President and board.

 Although the Auxiliary is an independent organization, the purpose is to assist the Hospital in any way deemed advisable by the governing authorities of the Hospital. In addition we try to promote the welfare of Marlborough Hospital, and provide supplemental volunteer services.  A major function of the organization as it is today is fundraising for special equipment not scheduled in the regular Hospital budget.

Most recently we have helped to raise funds for patient TV’s, family lounge furniture, and the new Cancer Pavilion of the Hospital. These funds are raised by two annual events, the Fall Flea Market which is held on the front lawn of the Hospital, and the Winter Holiday Bazaar. We also operate the well Wishers Gift shop all with volunteers.

Members are asked to support these efforts by either providing goods and or food. In addition the auxiliary sponsors 2-3 seasonal raffles during the year. While the tickets are only a dollar or 6 for five dollars these numbers add up quite quickly and all funds go to the hospital in the form of gifts.

In addition the Auxiliary has several scholarships for graduating seniors from the towns served by the Hospital who are planning to enter college to study some form of medicine. We have helped countless future doctors, nurses, physical therapists, lab technicians and the like in their pursuit of medical education.

It is our hope that you and or your spouses will support the Auxiliary by becoming a member. There are three types of membership. An annual member which is ($10) ~ a sustaining member ($ 20) ~ or a Life member which is ($100).       

Our treasurer is Mrs. Terri Barton 35 Cottage St. Hudson, 978-562-7434 or I can be reached at 188 Simpson Rd or call 508-460-0233 if you have any questions.
