Volunteer at River Falls Area Hospital

A long history of volunteerism

Volunteers have a long history of supporting the River Falls Area Hospital. In the late 1930’s, the City Hospital Guild was formed to help raised funds for the new hospital planned on property donated by the Ingram sisters. When the Sisters of St. Joseph opened a new hospital in the 1960’s, the Ladies Auxiliary of St. Joseph’s Hospital was formed. In 1975, these entities came together to create one volunteer program to support the city’s newly combined River Falls Area Hospital, and the River Falls Area Hospital Auxiliary was born. The River Falls Area Hospital Auxiliary supported the hospital for more than 40 years, voting in late 2017 to merge with the hospital’s formal volunteer department, creating our current volunteer program, the Volunteer Partners of River Falls Area hospital.
