MU Health Care Auxiliary

The MU Health Care Auxiliary is a volunteer organization that raises money to support and enhance patient services and programs.

Through fundraisers and gift shop proceeds the auxiliary has funded equipment to support MU Health Care's mission of saving and improving lives. Funded equipment supports multiple areas at MU Health Care.
