DMH Auxiliary Donates Funds
Decatur Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, celebrating their 65 year anniversary, presented a $95,497.43 check to Drew Early, president and CEO of Decatur Memorial Hospital. “The check brought the auxiliary’s total donations to the hospital to more than $7.8 million, Paula Hall, DMH volunteer services manager, said. Funds were raised from sales in the DMH Thrift Shop, Gift Shop and other fundraisers, such as bus trips, jewelry shows, book fairs, and the annual craft show.“There were 25,720 hours worked by 200 volunteers this year in more than 30 areas,” said Hall. Money received from the auxiliary will be used to buy hospital equipment-and make improvements to the hospital.
