VOLUNTEER
The Florida Hospital Waterman Auxiliary was established in 1958 to be of service to the hospital as well as a fund raising organization. Until 1976 all Auxilians were women -- the "Pink Ladies." Now men -- the "Red Coats" -- comprise over one-third of our active membership. Since its organization, the Auxiliary has contributed over $4 million as well as over 3 million hours of service to the hospital.
