Auxiliary supporting BMH through gift shop
When a patient came in the Brady Street entrance to Butler Memorial Hospital, they typically would be greeted by a member of the hospital auxiliary, who would escort them to the department the patient needed.
Those same members also would help people at the hospital gift shop or be a patient’s chaplain if requested.
Those members of the Butler Memorial Hospital Auxiliary were missed by medical professionals when the hospital implemented COVID-19 policies in March 2020.
“I feel like we're a ray of sunshine for them, because they are here so long,” said Maura West, president of the Butler Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. “A lot of times they just come into the gift shop because that’s like a stress reliever for them.”
