Uxbridge Cottage Hospital Auxiliary
50 yrs serving the Uxbridge Community.
About Us
In 1954 a group of nurses living in Uxbridge formed an auxiliary with the goal of building a community hospital. Five years later, with financial support from many other community groups, the auxiliary's objective was fulfilled when The Cottage Hospital was officially opened on January 12, 1959. During this period the Auxiliary has donated over $1,800,000.00 to the Hospital and Foundation. Since that time the auxiliary has maintained an active membership and presently has over 300 dedicated volunteers whose talents and efforts are focused in two areas: Patient Services and Fundraising.

HAAO members volunteered over 4 million hours and raised 50 million dollars for their healthcare facilities last year.

HAAO has always tried to respond to the issues and needs of its Auxiliary/Association members by being the catalyst of change itself. Through strategic planning, continued education, communication via the Volunteer and web site, and financial assistance to attend conferences and conventions, HAAO has put our members at the forefront of all our strategic planning.
