Welcome

The Auxiliary of University Medical Center at Princeton is a dynamic group of volunteers who raise funds for UMCP through special events and other projects. Members of the Auxiliary, a nonprofit organization, generously donate their time and energy to creating such extraordinary annual events as:

• The White Elephant Art, Antiques and Rummage Sale
• A November Night, a dinner dance and auction
• ArtFirst!, an international juried exhibition and sale featuring original work by professional artists with disabilities
• The Princeton Kids Marathon 
• The Princeton HealthCare System 10K Race

The Auxiliary also sponsors art exhibits which feature works by talented local artists, the UMCP Gift Shop, newborn photos and junior merit awards for teen volunteers. In the past, the Auxiliary has supported the renovation and expansion of the Emergency Department, the Cancer Program and the establishment of a Breast Health Center.

In 2006, the Auxiliary of University Medical Center at Princeton supported the immediate care provided to heart attack patients in the Emergency Department at University Medical Center at Princeton. The Auxiliary focused on providing cardiac-related equipment, facilities and staff training materials. The Auxiliary’s gift also contributed to the purchase of new defibrillators placed throughout the hospital. The Auxiliary supported  the 2006 Healthy Heart Program and cardiac screening sessions offered to area residents through the Community Education & Outreach Program and Cardiac Rehabilitation Program.

The Auxiliary pledged to support Maternal-Child Health at University Medical Center at Princeton for calendar years 2007 and 2008.  Its fund-raising efforts helped enable University Medical Center's award-winning Maternal-Child Health Program to enhance its technology and services. The program has been ranked among the top 5% of Maternity Programs in the United States by HealthGrades, an independent company that evaluates healthcare quality. Funding from the Auxiliary benefited mother and baby by supporting the most advanced nurse/patient communication system, mother and baby health monitoring systems, newborn equipment and neonatal diagnostic equipment.

In 2009, the Auxiliary congratulates University Medical Center at Princeton's Emergency Department on its ranking in the 99th percentile for patient satisfaction during 2008.  In recognition of this accomplishment and in support of the capital campaign, proceeds from many Auxiliary events this year will benefit the life-saving activities provided in the Emergency Department's Trauma/Critical Care Room in the new hospital.
