The Valley Hospital Auxiliary was a major catalyst in the founding of the hospital, raising funds and establishing community support years before the hospital opened. Today's Auxiliary, which consists of members from many local communities, remains an integral part of hospital life.

Our Mission

The mission of The Valley Hospital Auxiliary is to:

  • Serve as community liaison for the hospital
  • Assist the hospital through a variety of traditional and non-traditional volunteer services
  • Raise funds for vital hospital programs

Our Pledge

Since its inception in 1944, the Auxiliary has helped serve local communities by raising funds for critical healthcare programs and services. To date, the Auxiliary has donated more than $21 million to Valley.

On June 19, 2025, the VHA made its final payment of $182,688.00 to The Valley Hospital Foundation to complete its $3 million pledge to establish the pediatric section of the Emergency Department and $100,000 pledge to Valley Home Care’s endowment for Butterflies, a pediatric in-home palliative and hospice care program for seriously ill children.

We are also pleased to announce our new pledge: to raise $1.6 million to support and enhance patient care and comfort in the treatment of cancer, pregnancy-induced hypertension and the Butterflies program for critically ill children. For more information, visit our pledge page.
