The Mercy Hospital Auxiliary is an organization dedicated to helping and serving others. Through our volunteers, we are able to provide services to patients and their families that the Hospital otherwise may not be able to provide.

• Conduct Patient mail delivery.



• Provide an information desk for outpatient, surgery and emergency departments as well as physician offices.



• Maintain a library cart of books and magazines which is taken to the patient rooms each day.



• Provide Courier or messenger service.



• Work in the Coffee Dock snack bar.



• A year-long project is working on items for the Auxiliary Bazaar, usually held in November or early December. Money from this project helps us purchase equipment for the hospital. Crafters welcome!!



• We also offer scholarships through Fort Scott Community College (FSCC) to individuals entering the nursing or medical field. For more information, contact FSCC at 620-223-2700.

Believing the hospital has real need for my services as a volunteer worker:

I will be punctual and conscientious in the fulfillment of my duties and accept supervision graciously.

I will conduct myself with dignity, courtesy, and consideration.

I will consider as confidential all information which I may hear directly or indirectly concerning a patient, doctor, or any member of personnel, and will not seek information in regard to a patient.

I will take any problems, criticisms, or suggestions to the volunteer service chairman or the president - no one else.

I will endeavor to make my work of the highest quality.

I will uphold the traditions and standards of this hospital and will interpret them to the community at large.
