Auxiliary

Shortly before Maury Regional opened its doors in December 1953, the Auxiliary was organized with a group of 127 charter members. Since then, the group has grown to more than 500 men and women who now serve in more than 20 areas of the medical center.

The Auxiliary funds special requests from various departments of the medical center through membership dues, fund-raising activities, and revenues generated from the operation of the Gift Shop and Java Junction.

The membership is divided into three groups:

  • Active members who volunteer 100 hours or more a year
  • Associate members who volunteer less than 100 hours a year
  • SuperStars who are former volunteers not able to be active members, but who want to remain affiliated with the Auxiliary

Junior Volunteers

The Junior Volunteer program (formerly known as Candy Stripers) was established in 1955 with 54 charter members. Formerly a year-round program, it is now primarily a summer program for high school teens.

Applications are accepted only during the month of February and are available in the volunteer office, by e-mail at volunteers@mauryregional.com, or can be requested by phone. Interviews are conducted and those selected are notified. Mandatory training is required prior to every summer session.

Junior Volunteers are required to volunteer a minimum of 70 hours during the summer. They can pick from two sessions during the summer. They serve Monday - Friday from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. in a variety of areas throughout the medical center and gain valuable experience and insight into health care careers. Many former Junior Volunteers have pursued a career in the medical profession.

Care-A-Van Shuttle

The volunteers provide free shuttle transportation to any building or parking area on the medical center campus. The shuttle runs Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and makes regular stops in front of all major entrances. The driver may be contacted by dialing 931.698.5928.
