Past donations have funded state-of-the-art equipment and supported hospital services, including Emergency, Maternity, Hyperbaric Medicine and Wound Healing and more. The Auxiliary also funds annual scholarships for high school graduates studying for healthcare careers.

“Greenwich Hospital is extremely grateful for generosity and commitment of its auxiliary and volunteer force,” said Stacey Green, director of Volunteer Services. “This year, nearly 700 adult and junior volunteers contributed to the success of the hospital by volunteering approximately 51,000 hours of service.”
