ST. JOHN’S EPISCOPAL HOSPITAL AUXILIARY
The Hospital Auxiliary is an advisory committee that supports, enhances and promotes health care in our community through volunteering and fundraising initiatives. They help to provide much-needed necessities to the patients of the hospital, as well as to the local community.
Auxiliary members are residents of the communities served by the hospital, active and retired hospital employees and communicants of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island. Members meet 10 times per year for general membership and working group meetings.
Initiatives supported by the Auxiliary have included:
- Back to School Drive - August
- Adopt-a-Family Program - December
- Toy Drive/Children’s Holiday Party – December
- Mother/Baby Initiative – Year-round
Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Hospital Auxiliary is in the process of reimaging new tactics to conduct these initiatives in a safe and impactful way. Initiatives and the logistics to carry them out will be simplified and facilitated mostly online, minimizing in-person shopping and large gatherings.
The Hospital Auxiliary has always been there to help and assist. St John’s is thankful to past members, and strives to continue the tradition of hard work and community service into the future.

Back to School Drive
This year was our 4th annual Community & Back-to-School Wellness Event. We re-imagined this year into a safe “Grab and Go” event, and offered pediatric wellness appointments. We had a fantastic turnout, distributing 500 bags of school supplies and PPE to children in the community.
Here are some photos from the event, our sponsors who contributed to the school supply fund and a story published by The Wave.
