Mercy Auxiliary

The Mercy Regional Health Center Auxiliary is a true reflection of the Manhattan community. A wide-reaching group encompassing men and women of all ages and representing many area businesses, our members act as local ambassadors by promoting and supporting health care at Mercy Regional Health Center.

Auxiliary is defined as a reserve in case of a need. True to this definition, the Mercy Auxiliary has stepped up in support of Manhattan for years, fostering the hospital's goals and initiatives. The Mercy Auxiliary's mission is to serve Mercy Regional Health Center through health care scholarships, fundraisers and community health education opportunities.
