HAMC Auxiliary and Volunteers

HAMC Auxiliary

All HAMC, all volunteers become members of the Auxiliary. In addition to providing volunteer services, Auxiliary members raise money in support of HAMC and Haaland Estates. Over the years, the Auxiliary has raised tens of thousands of dollars for medical equipment, furnishings for public areas, and a multitude of other needs.


Annual Auxiliary fundraisers include:


  • Heart to Heart Gift Shop (ground floor of the hospital)
  • Auxiliary Fall Raffle
  • Tree of Giving
  • May Day Baskets
  • Spring Salad Luncheon
  • Jewelry Sale


At the annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon, HAMC volunteers are recognized for their contributions and the Volunteer of the Year is announced and awarded. The Heart of America Care Center has produced more than one North Dakota Long Term Care Association Volunteer of the Year. More information can be found on the NDLTCA's website.

Hospice Volunteers

Heart of America Hospice volunteers provide services based on the specific needs of patients and their families. Their services may include:


  • Help with housekeeping, laundry, meals, and running errands.
  • Provide companionship and/or spiritual support;
  • Help with letter writing, reading, and encouraging hobbies;
  • Provide respite support and listening ears for family members.


Volunteers who have direct contact with hospice patients are required to attend hospice training. Heart of America Hospice pays for the training and all ongoing education.
