Auxiliary & Volunteer Assistance
Improving the Health of the Community through Quality HealthcareKearney County Health Services Auxiliary has Three Primary Functions
The role of the auxiliary support and volunteer help at Kearney County Health Services falls into three categories: Volunteer services, community relations & public health education, and fundraising.
Volunteer Services
Auxiliary Volunteers assist KCHS in its mission to “…support and improve the health of the community, provide high-quality healthcare services in a cost-effective manner that recognizes the psychosocial, spiritual, physical and cultural values of the individual.”
Community Relations & Public Health Education
Auxiliary Volunteers assist KCHS with public events, such as school health clinics, public immunization clinics, public health education meetings, and community health fairs.
Fundraising
Through the efforts of the Auxiliary and KCMF, in just the past four years KCHS has been able to upgrade its Cardiac Rehab Unit and purchased new state of the art medical equipment for the facility such as a colonoscope, a bladder scanner, and new ultrasound equipment. The Auxiliary has had a major influence in improving the scope and quality of the healthcare services provided by KCHS.

New members are always welcome! For more information, please contact Anita Wragge at 308-832-3400 extension 2203.
Based upon their fundraising schedule, the KCHS Auxiliary meets approximately six months of the year on the first Thursday of the month at Kearney County Health Services.
