Overlook Medical Center is a part of Atlantic
Health System, one of New Jersey's largest non-profit
health care systems. As a non-profit organization, our
community medical center strives to deliver high quality, safe,
and affordable health care with respect and compassion.
The Overlook Auxiliary, an independent organization
made up of men and women of all ages, supports the medical center
by providing much needed hands-on and creative
fundraising. Our efforts provide many of the extras that
make Overlook Medical Center unique in our area.
The volunteer commitment of each Auxiliary volunteer may be achieved either by working
as an individual or as a member of a Twig.
The Auxiliary's focus is on fundraising and volunteering. Our Gift Shop and Bloom located in the Medical Center's Main Lobby, is staffed
by our volunteers and is popular with patients, staff and the local community. The Auxiliary also
runs a biennial Kitchen Tour which features several of
the area's fabulous, private kitchens.
The "Art at Overlook" program provides local
New Jersey artists an opportunity to exhibit in the public
areas of
the medical center. Our very popular Annual Spring Luncheon features a variety
of interesting guest speakers. Additionally there are bus trips, themed parties and gatherings, all creating opportunities for
Auxiliary members to come together socially.
The Auxiliary supports many important
medical center related programs including Child Life, Hospice/Homecare, Oncology Center, Palliative Care, Pastoral
Care,
and Social Services. We also fund several nursing scholarships
for deserving candidates on an annual basis.
The Auxiliary has contributed funding for several large
building projects such as the new Caregiver's Center, the Emergency Department
and the Pediatric Playroom.
