The Volunteers at Norton Community Hospital play a very important role,
y helping us be a leader in improving the health and quality of life in the communities in which we serve. Working as a team our volunteers serve
our patients, visitors and staff with respect and kindness. At Norton Community Hospital, we have three areas to volunteer the Auxiliary
(gift shop), Volunteer Program and the Chaplaincy Program.

Norton Community Hospital Auxiliary, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization consisting of approximately 35 members. This organization operates the Helping Hands Gift Shop and staffs the Information Desk, both of which
are located in the main lobby of the hospital. Monies generated in the gift shop are generously donated back to the hospital and the community
through nursing scholarships, coats for kids, food for the local food bank,
the Southwest Virginia Regional Cancer Center, renovation of patient areas and equipment.

The Norton Community Hospital Auxiliary, Inc. is a member of the Virginia Association of Healthcare Auxiliaries and Volunteers.
