After 74 years of service to the Wagner Community Memorial Hospital – Avera, the hospital auxiliary will be dissolving as of February 26th at their final meeting. The Wagner Hospital Auxiliary was first established in January of 1951 with the only requirements for membership being paying yearly dues and having an interest in the hospital. The Tyndall Hospital Auxiliary helped the Wagner chapter establish their Constitution and By-laws, which included their mission statement. The mission of the auxiliary is to “be a united endeavor of the members to establish and promote the interests and general welfare of the Wagner Community Memorial Hospital.” The Wagner Hospital Auxiliary is one of only seven hospital auxiliaries left in South Dakota, the other units are Burke, Rapid City, Huron, Redfield, Mobridge and Aberdeen.
