The Auxiliary members promoted the work of Mount Sinai Hospital and assisted needy members of the community through volunteer service, fundraising and public relations. Events included book sales, cookbook publishing and other social events, including an annual ball. Services included a coffee shop, a gift shop, the Free Bed Fund and various other forms of patient care and financial assistance programs.
