JOIN OUR AUXILIARY

Bellville General Hospital is blessed with an Auxiliary that numbers in excess of 100 members, both men and women, who are dedicated to improving the quality of patient care at BGH.

The Auxiliary was created in 1976. This year, they celebrate 35 years of 'lending a helping hand and a caring heart.' Several charter members of the Auxiliary are still actively volunteering their time and talents to the hospital on a regular basis. New members are joining every month and becoming familiar faces and welcome additions to the hospital family.

Over the years, the Auxiliary has been instrumental in assisting the hospital to  obtain patient equipment and other items that have helped enhance patient care at BGH. Since its inception, the Auxiliary has gifted the hospital in excess of over $600,000 designated for patient services that included dietary equipment, hospital furniture, ER and MCU monitoring equipment, wheel chairs, defibrillators and laboratory equipment. During 2010, thirty-nine volunteers clocked a total of 8,540.5 hours of volunteer time!

The Auxiliary, "famous" for its annual Rummage Sale, ventured into  new waters in 2004,when it  started a new fundraising venue....a resale shop.    With their motto "think resale, not rummage", the Auxiliary volunteers launched a  project that was an immediate "hit" with savvy shoppers in the area!  Everything from antiques to name-brand clothing are offered for sale in a unique boutique-style environment! 

Utilizing a property owned by the Hospital District that fronts West Main (Highway 36 N), the shop is located at 238 West Main.  "New 2 U", offers a variety of donated items that have been slightly used, yet ready to wear or take home and use!  Donations are accepted at the site.  Hours are  Wed., Thurs., and Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.   Opened on April 1st (No Fooling!), the shop raised in excess of $32,000 during its first 9 months of operation, ended 12-31-04. 2005 net sales exceeded $43,000!  2006 net sales surpassed $52,000, with the shop only open 146 days! 2010 was another incredible year with sales continuing to go up, Up, UP! Funds are generally ear-marked for equipment or furnishings within  the hospital, so every time the cash register rings, it means financial support for BGH. No wonder the BHA won the coveted Past Presidents Award for Fund Raising at the state TAVA convention in 2006.

BGH Auxiliary In addition to  the  resale shop, volunteers assist with manning the information desk in the hospital's main lobby. The Auxiliary also accepts memorial gift contributions.  Envelopes are available in the hospital lobby.

2012  President: Elizabeth Eder; 1st VP is Judy Williams; 2nd VP is Ann Mensch; Secretary is Joan Joiner; and Treasurer is Brenda Johnson.

The Auxiliary meets the 3rd Monday of every month at 1 p.m.  Visitors and guests are always welcome. Annual dues are $10; Lifetime Memberships are available for a one-time $100.


NEW PHONE # for BGH

Welcome!
HUGE SUCCESS!
The 2012 C. Gaylen Ackley Memorial Golf Classic benefiting Bellville Hospital Foundation was a HUGE success, surpassing all expectations!  This year’s event focused on improving women’s health.  Funds from the annual event were earmarked for new state-of-the-art digital mammography equipment. 

The community responded!  A full field of golfers enjoyed a great day of golfing and great food, drink and fellowship.  Contributors who were non-golfers came out in the evening and enjoyed the live music, great food, drink and fellowship.  Thanks to generous contributions from the Bluebonnet Society ($18,000) and the BGH Auxiliary’s highly successful resale shop New 2 U Resale ($25,000), the Foundation and the CGAMGC made the digital equipment possible!

What a remarkable example of a community coming together! 

Congratulations Marie!
BGH is pleased to announce Marie Schoebel, RN, as our 2012 recipient of the Daisy Award. . For more information about the Daisy Award, go to www.daisyfoundation.org.
