We are proud to be supported by the Deep River & District Health Auxiliary, a dedicated group of volunteers committed to championing local healthcare through education, fundraising, and the promotion of volunteer services.
Auxiliary members foster strong community partnerships that enhance care across the DRDH campus.
Since forming in 1974, the Auxiliary has donated more than $2 million and contributed nearly 450,000 volunteer hours in support of DRDH (as of the end of 2024). Thanks to the Auxiliary’s ongoing financial support, programs such as the Preschool Speech and Language Program are available to families in our region.
The Auxiliary operates the gift shop and the Whistle Stop, and also supports patient and resident programs by providing caring, compassionate volunteers.
