In August of 1951, the Auxiliary of Wilkes General Hospital was organized. Their first duty was to escort more than 4,000 visitors through the new hospital.

The Auxiliary has over 250 members and of this number 109 are working volunteers in the hospital. The Auxiliary assists in buying needed equipment, sponsors the Love Light tree, hosts an annual tea for employees and doctors, and helps with landscaping areas around the hospital entrances. Auxiliary volunteers also assist in many departments such as pharmacy and the admitting office and maintain a gift shop and the information desk in the main lobby.

Since 1958, the Auxiliary has honored Dr. Fred C. Hubbard by offering a scholarship to worthy students who are interested in entering the nursing field.
