Auxiliary

In 1920 a group of five passionate ladies saw the need for and had the vision to create and organize the Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center Auxiliary.  Our Auxiliary today is strong in membership of both women and men.  Made possible through a variety of fund raising efforts, millions of dollars have been raised that has enabled the Hillcrest Auxiliary to donate equipment for hospital departments/units, provide financial support for building projects at Hillcrest, while also supporting community organizations.
