The Overlook Auxiliary, an independent organization made up of men and women of all ages, supports the medical center by providing much needed hands-on and creative fundraising. Our efforts provide many of the extras that make Overlook Medical Center unique in our area. The volunteer commitment of each Auxiliary volunteer may be achieved either by working as an individual or as a member of a Twig. The Auxiliary's focus is on fundraising and volunteering. Our Gift Shop and Bloom located in the Medical Center's Main Lobby, is staffed by our volunteers and is popular with patients, staff and the local community. The Auxiliary also runs a biennial Kitchen Tour which features several of the area's fabulous, private kitchens. The "Art at Overlook" program provides local New Jersey artists an opportunity to exhibit in the public areas of the medical center. Our very popular Annual Spring Luncheon features a variety of interesting guest speakers. Additionally there are bus trips, themed parties and gatherings, all creating opportunities for Auxiliary members to come together socially. The Auxiliary supports many important medical center related programs including Child Life, Hospice/Homecare, Oncology Center, Palliative Care, Pastoral Care, and Social Services. We also fund several nursing scholarships for deserving candidates on an annual basis. The Auxiliary has contributed funding for several large building projects such as the new Caregiver's Center, the Emergency Department and the Pediatric Playroom.
