Throughout the years the Ascension St. John Auxiliary presents the Foundation with a check from donations they have collected from proceeds from gift shop sales and various fundraisers they have put on throughout the year. Recently, Ascension St. John Auxiliary donated $1,739,025 towards a $2 Million dollar pledge made in 2015 benefitting Telemedicine at The Heyman Stroke Center. The Heyman Stroke Center fund goes to help our 24-7 emergency stroke care center by helping to provide experienced medical team members, advanced technology, and acute intervention therapy education needed to help decrease serious brain injury.

This group of selfless volunteers was founded in 1951 by a group of 12 women, since then the Auxiliary has contributed more than 2.5 million hours of volunteer service and raised more than $7 million for hospital equipment and furnishings.

Today, Auxiliary members include women and men from diverse backgrounds with one thing in common – a willingness to unselfishly give of their time.
