West Jefferson Medical Center

Volunteer details

The Auxiliary to West Jefferson Medical Center was founded in 1959, a year before the hospital opened its doors. The Auxiliary is committed to supporting the Medical Center, a community hospital, and furthering its Mission of providing patient care in a comforting and cost-effective manner. Auxiliary members are proud volunteers continuing a legacy of service, representing a cross section of many communities and neighboring parishes. Members serve as ambassadors to patients and families as well as to others in the community. Members increase awareness of hospital services through participation in outreach including the yearly Jefferson Parish Senior Exposition. Over the years, through fundraising, the Auxiliary has donated thousands of dollars to the hospital to be used for patient care, new equipment, renovations, furnishings, employee scholarships, holiday decorations, community benefits and more.
