Auxiliaries
The Overlake Hospital Auxiliaries began in the 1950s when a small group of neighborhood fundraisers set their sights on building the Eastside’s first hospital. Today, there are eight Auxiliaries with more than 150 members who show their support for Overlake through fundraising events and activities. Auxiliary members are invaluable volunteers with a mission to support medical excellence at Overlake Hospital Medical Center through community engagement and fundraising.

The Overlake Hospital Cancer Center Auxiliary will host the 11th annual Tree of Hope ceremony on Wednesday, September 22, 2010 at 6 pm in Overlake’s Main Lobby. You may honor that person or those persons by making a donation to Overlake and having a candle lit in their name.
With your generous support, the Cancer Center Auxiliary ensures that patients and their families have the resources needed to meet the challenges they face.
“The Auxiliary’s support to the Cancer Center has provided assistance at a time of great need and stress to patients and their families for services not often covered, or poorly covered by their insurance providers.” J. Walter Smith, M.D., Overlake Cancer Center

Join Us
We invite you to make a special contribution to our community by joining an Overlake Hospital Auxiliary. Each of the eight Auxiliaries raises funds for specific hospital programs so you can direct your support to programs that are important to you:
Auxilians work together to supplement Cancer Center services including educational, emotional, and psychological support for the patients and their families who are living with cancer.
In 1985, a group of friends founded this Auxiliary to honor one of the first Overlake Hospital administrators. Each year Eastside residents look forward to the Auxiliary’s annual candy sale in December. The delicious chocolate covered toffee sale raises funds for various hospital departments.
Elsie Barker Cancer Care Auxiliary
This Auxiliary’s mission is to strengthen those living with cancer by funding programs and equipment for the Cancer Center at Overlake.
Volunteers help visitors bring joy to hospitalized loved ones by staffing the Gift Gallery. Proceeds from the shop, which sells flowers, balloons, cuddly stuffed animals and beautiful gifts, are given back to the hospital to fund emergent capital needs.
Jill Wikstrom's Dreamcatchers Auxiliary
The Dreamcatchers are a group of nurses and staff from various hospital departments who grant dreams and wishes to Overlake employees in unique circumstances. By joining this Auxiliary, you too can help make dreams come true
