Mosaic Life Care Auxiliary Funding

For over 90 years, the Auxiliary’s mission has been guided by the organization’s 21-member board of directors. Two committees: General Fund Requests and Breast Care Patient Assistance Fund vet potential funding opportunities and lift these up to the board for approval.

As shared in our mission, Mosaic Life Care Auxiliary promotes community goodwill and provides support to enhance healthcare for our patients and their families.

The Auxiliary’s Board of Directors allocates dollars to support hospital and community initiatives as well as direct patient assistance.
