The Health Care Auxiliary of Minnesota (HCAM) is an organization of auxiliaries and/or volunteer groups serving health care facilities across Minnesota. HCAM represents 101 health care auxiliaries in Minnesota totaling in excess of 24,468 persons volunteering in services to hospitals and long-term care facilities. In 2010 those volunteer services represented statewide 1.5 million hours at a total estimated value of $32.4 million. These same groups raised funds in excess of $5.4 million for their facilities.
More than 80 volunteers in hospitals and care centers converged on the State Capitol March 28, to meet with their legislators and advocate for hospitals and other health care services. The volunteers took part in HCAM's annual “Day at the Capitol,” a collaborative effort supported by the Minnesota Hospital Association (MHA) and Aging Services of Minnesota.
HCAM's first published book, "The Power of One, the Service of Many" is dedicated to the thousands of women, men and youth who volunteer in health care. Throughout this book, volunteers and auxiliary members have come forward, sharing both pioneering efforts and current-day experiences that symbolize and model unconditional kindness, compassion and love to help people in need.
