Overlook Hospital is a part of Atlantic Health, one of New Jersey's largest non-profit health care systems. As a non-profit organization, our community hospital strives to deliver high quality, safe, and affordable health care with respect and compassion. The Overlook Hospital Auxiliary, an independent organization made up of men and women of all ages, supports the hospital by providing much needed hands-on support and creative fundraising. Our efforts provide many of the extras that make Overlook Hospital unique in our area. Each Auxilian's volunteer commitment may be achieved either by working as an individual or as a member of a Twig.

The Auxiliary's focus is twofold: volunteering and fundraising. Our Gift Shop and Bloom located in the hospital's main lobby, is partially 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, newly appointed, private kitchens. The "Art at Overlook" program provides local New Jersey artists an opportunity to exhibit in the public areas of the hospital. Our very popular Annual Luncheon featuring a variety of interesting guest speakers, as well as bus trips, themed parties and gatherings, create opportunities for Auxilians to come together socially.

The Auxiliary supports such important hospital-related programs as Hospice/Home care, Pastoral care, The Overlook Hospital Oncology Center, Child Life, and Social Services. We also fund several Nursing scholarships for deserving candidates on an annual basis. In addition, The Auxiliary has contributed funding for several important building projects such as the Emergency Department and the Pediatric dayroom.
