The Pullman Regional Hospital Auxiliary

Pullman Regional Hospital Auxiliary exists to support patient comfort and healing needs through fundraising activities.

This mission is fulfilled through three main activities:

• Volunteer services that enhance patient experiences
• Fundraising activities to support patient comfort needs
• Special events to promote hospital goals in outreach services and other specially designated community efforts.

Pullman Regional Hospital Auxiliary activities also support the mission, vision and values of the hospital. Through a variety of fundraising efforts, the Auxiliary makes financial contributions to Pullman Regional Hospital for the purchase of patient care items. Since its inception in 1968, the Auxiliary has donated over $411,000 in such items. 

In addition to fundraising activities, many of the Auxiliary members volunteer in a variety of capacities in the hospital. The Auxiliary manages and operates the hospital's Gift Garden completely through volunteer efforts.
