History

The Perry Memorial Hospital Auxiliary was organized by Mrs. Milo (Ann) Watson and Mrs. Edwin (Mary) Malzahn in October of 1962. Mrs. Marty (Georgia) McQuain served as president. The purpose of the organization is to assist the hospital in promoting the health and welfare of the community through the purchasing of much needed equipment for use in the hospital. These purchases are funded through fundraisers and sales of gift items in the gift shop. The first groups of auxiliary members were known as the “The Cheery Cherry Red Ladies”. Later the name was changed to the Perry Memorial Hospital Volunteers so that men could also become members.

Auxiliary Scholarship

The Perry Memorial Hospital Auxiliary awards a scholarship each year to a Noble County high school senior interested in entering the medical field.
