“I’ve been a member of the University Hospital auxiliary for about 5 years now. During that time I’ve learned how to help others help themselves and in the process, have learned a lot about myself. It’s also great to be a part of such a warm and fun group."

“I think it’s important to get involved in the community and the Auxiliary is a good way to do just that. If you want to get involved, help improve the health status of the community and its quality of life, then University Hospital’s Auxiliary is for you.”

“I visited the hospital with a friend who happened to be a member of the Auxiliary. She showed me around and I really liked what they were doing. I ended up joining them and served as a secretary for several years. A community-minded hospital like University and programs like the Auxiliary Department are of great importance to the city.”

“I joined the Auxiliary Department only two months ago, but so far I’m very impressed with the positive image that the University Hospital is projecting to the city of Newark and its residents. The Auxiliary Department makes it easy for you to be a part of such positive work.”

“I’ve been a member for about a year. Since then, I’ve been able to get involved in the community more than I ever thought possible. Also, Minnie Presley, President of the Auxiliary, sets such a great example—she’s part of what inspired both me and my husband to join.”

“I was inspired to join the Auxiliary Department because of their generosity, particularly with Pastoral Care at the hospital. Every year they help Pastoral Care at their summer picnics and Christmas celebrations. They bring food, money, toys and most importantly kindness to those that need it most.”

"For ten years I’ve helped the Auxiliary team help those in need. I love being able to give back to the community where I was raised. One of my favorite activities is making stuffed animals during the holidays and giving them out to our children and elderly.”

"Besides being able to help others, the thing I like most about the Auxiliary is the camaraderie and fellowship between our members. Along with the hospital, it’s one of the best ways to reach out to our Newark community.”
