The Auxiliary of St. Mary's Hospital
Deeply rooted in our history and our hearts...
The St. Mary's Hospital Auxiliary has played an integral role at St. Mary's Hospital Centre ever since our doors opened in 1924. With funds raised through operating the Gift Shop, the Book Corner, and the Coffee Shop, the Auxiliary has purchased equipment, funded research, refurbished departments and enhanced patient care. Over the years, St. Mary's Auxiliary has raised millions of dollars and volunteered thousands of hours to ensure that everyone who comes through our doors feels welcome.

Respirology Specialist (middle) who received $120,000 over 2 years for equipment to diagnose and treat patients with sleep disorders. Project funds were used for equipment and staff recruitment.
Giving Resources and Support to our Patients (GRASP) program led by Dr. Vanessa Delisle (pictured) and Dr. Marie-Sylvie Bertin. The Auxiliary awarded $50,000 post-COVID for this pilot project which provided group counselling to patients in need. Wait times were reduced, with more patients able to receive treatment than with one-on-one therapy. The success of the GRASP project resulted in Bell Let's Talk gifting $300,000 to continue the work.
