Auxiliary

The OSF St. Joseph Auxiliary was formed in 1950. The auxiliary consists of individuals who support the medical center through fundraising activities and public relations.

Are you interested in learning about additional ways to give back to OSF St. Joseph Medical Center? Do you enjoy fellowship with others and meeting new people? Do you have special crafting, baking or other talents that can brighten the days of the patients? Consider joining the OSF St. Joseph Auxiliary! 

The Auxiliary supports the medical center in numerous ways. They support an annual education scholarship program. The auxiliary maintains a meditation garden as an area for peaceful reflection for our visitors, patients, and their families. During the holiday season, the auxiliary supports members of the community as they honor their loved ones through the annual Tree of Lights campaign!
