Windom Area Hospital Auxiliary

Windom Area Health Auxiliary is a volunteer organization that supports Windom Area Health. They contribute nearly 2,000 volunteer hours every year!

The Windom Area Health Auxiliary is a nonprofit volunteer organization comprised of nearly 80 members. “Serving with heart,” the Auxiliary’s mission is to support hospital initiatives through volunteerism, fundraising, and coordinating efforts that ensures a welcoming experience at Windom Area Health. The Auxiliary was founded in 1921 with just seven women, and met monthly until disbanding in 1951

. In 1974, the Auxiliary was reorganized when the “new” hospital was built. Throughout 2024, the Auxiliary will be celebrating 50 years of rich history. Some of the Auxiliary’s initiatives include, but are not limited to, purchasing and stocking gifts for the Windom Area Health gift shop, fundraising to help purchase new equipment, volunteering at hospital events, sponsoring OB gift packs for new parents, purchasing newspaper subscriptions for patients and families, and contributing to the hospital’s interior environment by decorating year-round, while paying special attention during the winter holidays. The Windom Area Health Auxiliary meets on the second Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the Large Conference Room at Windom Area Health. The Auxiliary always welcomes new members. For more information on the Auxiliary, please contact Windom Area Health at 507-831-2400.

We were proud to fundraise for a new Ergometer in Cardiac Rehab this past year! This machine works the arms and legs during Cardiac Rehab sessions and has a removable seat for wheelchair accessibility. The seat also adjusts in all directions. Exercises of any fitness ability are able to use this equipment to meet their goals! Thank YOU for supporting our bake sales, pecan sales, and raffles to bring important upgrades like this to Windom Area Health!👏
