WGH Auxiliary Wishlist
The Wabash General Hospital Auxiliary makes a big impact all year long through fundraisers and gift shop sales that give back directly to our patients and staff.
Each year, departments submit a “Wish List,” and thanks to Auxiliary support, those needs become reality. Most recently, they helped purchase:
- Doppler (Med Surg)
- Rolling Cart (Oncology)
- Rover with charger (Lab)
- Spot Vision Screener (Pediatrics)
- 30 Blood Pressure Cuffs (Care Management)

- Magazine Subscriptions (Case Management)
- Wheelchair (Radiology)
- 2 Binder Lifts (EMS)
