WinnMed Auxiliary

The purpose of the Auxiliary shall be charitable purposes; to advance the welfare of, and render service to WinnMed, its governing board and administration.

WinnMed Auxiliary consists of twelve board members with a membership list totaling 200. The board meets monthly to plan numerous fundraisers and deem where money raised is spent. All money raised is gifted to WinnMed with the exception of certain funds allotted to their Health Career Scholarship fund.

There are three ways you can be a member of the WinnMed Auxiliary:

2. Register as an inactive member by paying a $10 membership fee. We appreciate your support and will not call on you.
3. Register as a life member. Write one check for $100 and be a member for life. You choose to be active or inactive.
