Who We Are

The largest volunteer group is the MWH Auxiliary, a membership organization providing patient and hospital support, fund-raising and community outreach. The Auxiliary has volunteers in 23 services (includes patient and non-patient areas), including the Gift Shop, the Mary Washington Shoppe. Service opportunities are from Sunday to Saturday with specific time requirement needs. The Auxiliary's annual dues are $5.00.
