Our History

In January 1969 with construction of the new hospital almost complete, this volunteer organization officially adopted a constitution and by-laws as well as the title, Ste. Genevieve County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. The first meeting as the new official organization was held on February 25, 1969, with 160 members present.

That pride and commitment continues to sustain the hospital and remains a vital part of hospital life.
