Hi-Desert Medical Center has been very fortunate to have dedicated longstanding volunteers serve in a 501c3 non-profit entity which is known as the Hi-Desert Medical Center Auxiliary. They oversee the Auxiliary hospital gift shop, the Auxiliary Thrift Store located in downtown Joshua Tree, and volunteer their time in many departments throughout the hospital such as out-patient services, the Continuing Care Center, Imaging and more.
The primary function of the Auxiliary is to raise money through membership dues, revenue through their thrift store, gift shop, and their annual fundraising events. The Auxiliary has historically donated thousands of dollars to enhance the medical services at Hi-Desert Medical Center. The Auxiliary is comprised of volunteers who wish to invest their time and resources in the community’s healthcare to provide a better, healthier future for the generations to come. Last year alone, the Auxiliary donated over 12,000 hours of their time.
