The Campaign for Emanate Health

Emanate Health Foothill Presbyterian Hospital Auxiliary

Many volunteer opportunities are available that have a huge impact on the lives of patients, visitors and employees.

The Emanate Health Foothill Presbyterian Hospital (FPH) Auxiliary is a group of volunteers who focus on fundraising to help the hospital grow and improve. Whether it's for a new piece of medical equipment or a hospital renovation, the Auxiliary volunteers roll up their sleeves and get to work.

It was formed in 1968 (five years before the hospital opened), raising money for the capital project, as well as scholarships. The Foothill Presbyterian community is extremely grateful for everything the Auxiliary has accomplished, including the recently completed Geleris Family Education Center.
