Our Mission
The Saint Alphonsus Auxiliary — Baker City was organized to make a difference in patron care and hospitality and to serve Saint Alphonsus Medical Center — Baker City in fund raising and community support through social events. The Auxiliary exists today to encompass not only the founder’s goals but also to allow the auxilians to promote fellowship and cultivate leadership qualities within the membership.

Our Purpose
The purpose of our auxiliary is to render service to Saint Alphonsus Medical Center — Baker City and its patients and to assist in promoting the health and welfare of the community and the philosophy established by the institution. The auxiliary is a nonprofit, nonsectarian group whose threefold purpose is:

• Public relations.
• Service.
• Gifts.
