Aspirus Keweenaw Auxiliary and Volunteers
The Aspirus Keweenaw Auxiliary was founded in 1948. Its sole purpose is to raise funds for the hospital. The Auxiliary owns and operates The Gift Nook gift shop. It is located in the hospital lobby and hosts several fundraising events each year. All profits raised by the Auxiliary are given to Aspirus Keweenaw for the purchase of medical equipment.
The Auxiliary meets monthly from September through May on the third Thursday of the month. For more information about the Aspirus Keweenaw Auxiliary, contact President Doris Julio at 337-1291.
Volunteering at Aspirus Keweenaw
Volunteers are a vital part of Aspirus Keweenaw. Our volunteers serve in areas such as the hospital gift shop, the Information Desk, Medical Records, Admitting, the Library and others.
Many types of volunteers donate their time to Aspirus Keweenaw. Retired seniors, university students, interns and residents are just a few of the groups who volunteer. Nursing, lab, pharmacy and physical therapy students are encouraged to contact Aspirus Keweenaw about internships.
High schools students interested in learning more about health related careers also have the opportunity to volunteer. Students must be over 14 years of age and must commit to volunteering at least 30 hours over the course of one school year. They also must go through the screening process and testing.
Volunteers are required to go through a screening process that includes filling out an application, passing a drug and alcohol screening, taking a TB test, passing a criminal backround check and going through an orientation process. For an application or to receive more information about becoming a volunteer, contact Volunteer Coordinator Deb Dlubala at 337-6961 or email ddlubala@aspiruskeweenaw.org.
