The volunteers who contribute time, energy, and compassion to Hereford Regional Medical Center are the heart and soul of our hospital.

These volunteers have donated hundreds…and, in some cases, many thousands, of hours, to the hospital and our patients.

Whether they are welcoming people to the hospital who are visiting family or friends, making sure the gift shop has seasonal items and get-well gifts for purchase, or offering a compassionate touch or message of support, our auxiliary group is critical to the work we do to take care of our community.
