Almighty God and Heavenly Father of Mankind, bless we pray thee, our endeavors in those hospitals in which we strive to bring comfort and hope to all who are in distress of mind or body.
Guide us so that we may use the privilege given us to help the aged, the ill and very young- with generosity, with discretion and with gentleness.
Give us the strength to labor diligently, the courage to think and to speak with clarity and conviction but without prejudice or pride.
Grant us we beseech Thee both wisdom and humility in directing our united efforts to do for others only as Thou would have us do.
The Auxiliary offers a wonderful opportunity to meet others in the community who share a similar interest in community service and welfare.
As a member, you will form new friendships while making a difference in the community, the health of its citizens, and enrichment of the hospital that serves them.
As a tight-knit group of individuals, the Auxiliary performs a social role in the community as well as raising money for equipment and scholarships for the Edwards County Hospital. Men and women in the community are members of the Auxiliary.
Membership dues are a nominal amount, and there is no pressure to be a more active member unless one wants to do so. Joining the Auxiliary is a way to give back to support the community and its community hospital.

The Edwards County Hospital Auxiliary is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to raise funds to help support better health care services for our local community. The dollars we raise go toward the purchase of new equipment for departments in our hospital. They also provide scholarships for local students who plan to work in a health-related field.
The Auxiliary is an excellent way to make a contribution to the hospital equipment fund while honoring a deceased family member or friend, or honoring and paying tribute to a living person. All memorial contributions are designated to purchase essential medical equipment for the hospital and are fully tax deductible.
