Auxiliaries

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center is fortunate to have six auxiliaries whose members are united by a common interest in supporting the medical center and the children entrusted to our care. 

Our auxiliaries have been essential to the success of Cincinnati Children’s. Through their dedication, hard work and contributions, our auxiliary members have funded new equipment, supported pioneering research, increased community outreach and helped underwrite many programs.
