Today, volunteers work in 39 areas of the hospital, directly and indirectly enhancing patient care. Areas of Service Working throughout the hospital, the Auxiliary adds to the comfort and cheer of the sick, their families and visitors. Volunteers give information, handle mail, deliver flowers, staff the Gift Shop, and assist in admitting and dismissing patients. Volunteer assignments include recovery room, surgical holding area, family waiting rooms, the Natalie Warren Bryant Cancer Center, the Trauma Emergency Center, the Eastern Oklahoma Perinatal Center and many other areas. They conduct hospital tours for adults and children.
Volunteers also raise monies through various projects.
Since 1960, funds raised by volunteers have purchased high-tech medical equipment and other important additions to patient care and comfort. K.A.S.P. Day brings approximately 800 area third grade students. Tents are erected on the front lawn of the hospital, which serve as learning stations, emphasizing good health-wellness concepts through the use of puppeteers, magicians and health care professionals. Every November, the Saint Francis Gift Shop has its first showing of Christmas merchandise with this special two-day event manned by Auxiliary volunteers. We invite you to consider joining the Saint Francis Hospital Auxiliary.
