PARKLAND AUXILIARY
The Parkland Auxiliary was the first charitable and volunteer organization that supported Parkland. The Auxiliary was organized in 1940 at the request of the Board of Managers. Its purpose remains to render "any assistance to the hospital that might lie within its powers." It has financially sponsored many worthwhile, far-reaching projects for the benefit of the patients, hospital staff and Parkland Health & Hospital System. The Director of Volunteer & Guest Services is also the Parkland Liaison to the Auxiliary. Auxiliary-based businesses that operate at Parkland are as follows:
