Founded in 1977 by the Brandon Women's Service League, the Brandon Regional Hospital Auxiliary has expanded its role and programs to keep pace with the needs of a rapidly growing community.

Today the Auxiliary totals more than 200 volunteers who perform a wide range of services for the patients, guests and staff of Brandon Regional Hospital.

Scholarships 

The Auxiliary is a nonprofit organization; proceeds from the hospital gift shops and other volunteer fundraisers are used to provide scholarships for those in the Brandon area pursuing careers in the medical field.

The scholarships are awarded based on financial need, and more than $600,000 has been given to students since the program's inception. Approximately $20,000 is distributed to various local charities each year.

Summer Volunteen

The Auxiliary also sponsors a Summer Volunteen program in conjunction with the American Red Cross. Red Cross-certified high school students ages 14 to 17, may gain experience volunteering in a wide range of services.
