Porter Medical Center Auxiliary

The Porter Medical Center Auxiliary has been supporting our hospital since 1934. It is made up of more than 400 members of the community, who support the mission of Porter Medical Center through financial contributions and through the provision of services for our patients, their families and our staff. The Auxiliary has contributed more than $2.5 million to Porter Medical Center, a major boost to the vibrancy and stability of our hospital and our community.

The Auxiliary is always looking for new members. A $25 donation purchases a year-long membership in support of our local medical center and rehabilitation center.

How We Help

In the last three years, the Porter Auxiliary:

  • Raised $80,000 to purchase an orthopedic ultrasound unit for Porter’s expanding orthopedic practice and fund the training for the staff that use it.
  • Provided $10,000 in matching funds for the new patient support fund, which will cover small expenses not reimbursed by insurance that may stand between a patient and their ability to return home.
  • Gave $100,000 to the Helen Porter improvement project, so that residents, patients and staff have updated and more comfortable spaces, indoors and out.
  • Donated nearly $60,000 for two clinical training manikins (adult and pediatric) to help medical staff learn and maintain skills.
  • Invested $80,000 to boost the pipeline of trained nursing candidates for Porter and the region through scholarships and ongoing education.

In the last six years, the Auxiliary has also:

  • Funded a COVID-19 testing facility to provide cover and warmth to staff and patients during testing, keeping potentially infected individuals out of our primary care practices.
  • Given $50,000 to Porter Medical Center to help Porter and Helen Porter meet the unanticipated expenses of COVID-19.
  • Raised $75,000 for the building of Porter ExpressCare, PMC’s clinic that provides quick, less expensive health care options for patients who might otherwise go to the emergency room.

Why Should I Join?

  • The opportunity to support Porter patients, their families and staff while meeting incredible new people.
