Lots of News


The summer just flew by and now our group is back in gear for another season.

Many thanks to everyone who purchased tickets on our raffle of a case of lobster.  We sold $1,444 worth of tickets and we are already looking for ways to spend it on items for the hospital!

Some of our auxiliary members provided home-baked treats for our hospital staff two mornings this past week.  Our dedicated staff go above and beyond every single day and we wanted to say thank you.  We had some nice compliments about our culinary skills from the staff, who appreciated being appreciated!

Our new executive have assumed their leadership duties for the next two years.  We are glad to have Pam MacKinnon as President, Carolyn Biggar as Secretary, Cindy Gorrill as Treasurer and Thelma Phillips as Public Relations.  Pam, Carolyn and Cindy are also new to the Auxiliary, so it is really generous of them to give their time and talents to our group.

We've added a biography of Dr. J.A. Stewart to our blog.  His dedication to the people of the Tyne Valley area during his 38-year career led the hospital's founders to name their facility after him, and we think his story should be more widely known.
