Volunteer Groups

Rochester Methodist Hospital Auxiliary Volunteers

The Rochester Methodist Hospital (RMH) Auxiliary, which began in 1955, supports patients, visitors and staff with a variety of services. Volunteers also serve in leadership positions on the auxiliary volunteer board.

Our mission is to serve, with dignity and care, the needs of the patients, staff and visitors. When you volunteer your services to the hospital, you demonstrate a desire to contribute to improved comfort and service to our patients, their families and visitors. By doing so, you are also helping the hospital staff.
