BCMH Auxiliary Volunteers

About Our Volunteers

Bates County Memorial Hospital (BCMH) Auxiliary Volunteers are a special group of men and women who come together for one purpose: to provide support to the hospital staff and raise money to purchase medical equipment and room furnishings.

In additional to daily tasks, volunteers also oversee projects like their annual Operation Sock-It-To-Me campaign, recognition events for employees, and several fundraisers throughout the year.

Auxiliary Gift Shop

The Bates County Memorial Hospital (BCMH) Gift Shop is located in the front lobby of the hospital and is open Monday – Friday, 8:30 am – 3:30 pm. The gift shop is managed and operated by Auxiliary volunteers.  Revenue from the Gift Shop assists in funding needed items and equipment for the hospital.
