Blue Mountain Hospital Auxiliary volunteers help sell these items at the Blue Mountain Hospital Gift Shop, and the proceeds benefit the hospital.

The Blue Mountain Hospital Auxiliary is made up of volunteers who operate and organize the Blue Mountain Hospital Gift Shop and the Christmas Bazaar.

Proceeds from these two fundraisers provide the hospital and Blue Mountain Care Center with needed equipment and aid in maintenance projects as well as supporting local traveling nurses to destinations such as South America to assist in needed reconstructive surgery for babies, toddlers and small children.

The gift shop is located in the front foyer at the bottom of the stairs of the hospital and offers items for all ages, such as toys, books, cookbooks, jewelry, purses, scarves, décor and more. The Auxiliary gift shop is open from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, except holidays.

Volunteers can join at any time. The monthly meetings are at 10 a.m. the second Tuesday of each month in the Blue Mountain Hospital Conference Room, which is located on the first floor. Contact Wilma Boyer, gift shop manager, at 541-620-8034 or 541-575-1311, ext. 2362, during gift shop hours with any questions or to join the Blue Mountain Hospital Auxiliary.
