Although the over 700 Jupiter Medical Center Auxiliary volunteers come in all shapes, sizes and ages, they share a common desire to touch people's lives and make a difference by contributing to the community in which they live and prosper. The Auxiliary volunteers staff over 50 different positions within the hospital such as providing wheelchair-bound patient transportation, family waiting room support, operating the visitor information desk, performing clerical duties and assisting in the high-energy emergency room and intensive care units. In addition to the hospital, volunteers staff positions at satellite facilities such as Women's Diagnostics Center, The Pavilion, Ella Milbank Foshay Cancer Center, and Outpatient Surgery Center.

The Auxiliary operates the Motor Aid Service, providing transportation to and from the hospital Monday through Friday. This service provides a vital link to the non-driving members of our community. Volunteers drive patients to their medical procedures and critical treatments such as chemotherapy.

The Auxiliary also operates two revenue generating facilities: the Thrift Shop, located at 205 Center Street in Jupiter, and the Gift Shop, located in hospital's East entrance. Auxiliary members volunteering in these specialized areas may find themselves operating a cash register, re-stocking and pricing donated items, assisting customers in selecting purchases or providing telephone support. In the past few years, Auxiliary members have raised over $2 million to improve patient and visitor services at Jupiter Medical Center.
