History:
For decades, the Belleville General Hospital Auxiliary has supported patients, visitors and staff. The Auxiliary not only operates over 20 volunteer programs, but they also raise an impressive amount of money each year to aid in the purchase of much-needed medical equipment.
The Women's Hospital Auxiliary was organized April 28, 1938, at a meeting held in City Hall Council Chambers. In October of 1974, the name was changed to the Belleville Hospital Auxiliary to reflect the inclusion of men as volunteers.
BGH Auxiliary provides a variety of volunteer services for the patients and staff of Quinte Health Care. Fundraising projects are designed to augment the equipment fund of QHC, Belleville General Hospital.
