The Citrus Memorial Health System Auxiliary recently elected and installed new officers for 2011.

The Auxiliary, which currently has more than 220 active volunteers working in various departments throughout the hospital, also raises funds for hospital equipment and facilities to help improve overall patient care.

The Citrus Memorial Auxiliary began in 1957 with 26 volunteers who were affectionately called the Pink Ladies. By 1962 the group had grown to over 200 volunteers and began recruiting candy stripers. Today, Citrus Memorial Health System’s volunteers include men and women working in locations throughout the county including Citrus Memorial hospital and Citrus Memorial Healthcare Center at Sugarmill Woods.
