About IMH Auxiliary The Iroquois Hospital Women's Auxiliary was organized on September 13, 1949, with43 charter members from the communities served by the Iroquois Hospital. This Auxiliary was formed with the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Administrator of the Iroquois Hospital, and under the guidance of the Lake View Hospital Auxiliary in Danville. Memberships in the Illinois Hospital Association and the American Hospital Association were acquired immediately and active participation on both district and state levels began. The Auxiliary remains an active member in the Illinois Hospital Association. In May 1971, the name of the Auxiliary was changed to Iroquois Memorial Hospital Auxiliary to comply with the official change in the name of the Hospital. Over the years the Auxiliary has donated over $850,000 that has been used to purchase equipment, furnishings for the Hospital and Resident Home, and for financial pledges towards construction projects. There are presently 118 members of the IMH Auxiliary.
