The purpose of St. Margaret's Hospital Guild is to raise money to provide for special needs at Wishard Health Services, a truly human cause. As the Indianapolis community's only public hospital facility, Wishard Health Services provides care for all persons with highly critical, high-risk diseases and injuries, regardless of their ability to pay. Founded in 1907, today's St. Margarget's Guild is a non-sectarian group with 70 active members who volunteer their talents, time and expertise for the benefit of Wishard Health Services. The Guild has no paid personnel or office facilities.
Members are adept at generating widespread community involvement and financial support.
For 38 consecutive years, the Guild's project has been the Decorators' Show House. Each year, over 70 of the area's finest interior designers and landscapers are invited to completely make over one of the city's classic homes. Over 24,000 people annually come to see the stunning results and to attend the many activities of the two-week showcase. Copyright 1999, Decision Support Technology and St. Margaret's Hospital Guild.
