Hospital Auxiliary + -

The Chesapeake General Hospital Auxiliary was developed with hard-working hands and spirited hearts. Each member is dedicated to serving as a valuable resource to the hospital and as an ambassador in the community. It all began in September 1974 when a group of determined women had a mission: to selflessly provide their services to Chesapeake General Hospital and its patients and to promote health and wellness to the community.

Today, the Hospital Auxiliary has grown with the hospital and its presence is seen through a variety of community events, as well as through the purchase of special medical equipment in several hospital departments.

Light the World for Someone You Love

The Chesapeake General Hospital Auxiliary invites you to honor or remember a loved one with a Tree Light or Star Light on Chesapeake Regional Medical Center’s holiday tree. Each light will shine brightly throughout the season, and proceeds support the Auxiliary’s scholarship program for future healthcare professionals.
To purchase a light, scan the QR code or visit Light the World.

Join us for the Tree Illumination Ceremony on Sunday, December 7th, in the hospital’s main lobby—music begins at 4 PM with the Hampton Roads Metro Band, followed by performances, the tree lighting, and refreshments at 5 PM.

If you are currently pursuing a career in the healthcare field and you are attending a college or university or enrolled in an accredited program of study, you may be eligible for a Chesapeake General Hospital Auxiliary Scholarship. The Auxiliary is awarding several $1000.00 scholarships. Please read the scholarship requirements and information carefully and return your completed application by April 25, 2025. Scholarship recipients will be notified by May 16, 2025. Contact Becky Jacob at 757-536-7160 for more information. 2025 applications are now CLOSED!

General Requirements:

1.    Be enrolled in an accredited college, university, or accredited program of study and be maintaining a “B” average or better.

2.    Be enrolled in a course of study in the healthcare field.

3.   Submit a completed application, two letters of reference, last semester’s college transcript, and typed responses to the essay questions. 

The Chesapeake General Hospital Auxiliary Scholarship Committee shall make the selection of recipients subject to the approval of the Auxiliary Executive Board. Late applications will NOT be accepted. 
 

The 'Peake Boutique is operated by the Hospital Auxiliary and is staffed by volunteers. All proceeds are deposited into the Auxiliary Fund, which is used to purchase new medical equipment or support special hospital projects.

It takes a special type of person to be a member. It takes someone who believes in the mission of Chesapeake Regional Healthcare. It takes someone who is willing to give time and resources to help provide quality care to the community. It takes someone who can look beyond today and envision the kind of medical care future generations need and work toward helping the hospital meet those needs.

Membership is open to anyone who is interested in continuing the mission of Chesapeake Regional Healthcare. You may contribute as much time as you wish. There are no limitations. Modest annual dues are collected no later than August 1. A membership directory listing all members, elected officers and their positions is distributed each year.

General membership meetings are held quarterly (September, December, March and May). The installation of new Hospital Auxiliary officers is in June. The governing board meets the first Monday of each month, from September through June. A quarterly newsletter is distributed to the membership to keep them up to date on the latest Hospital Auxiliary issues.

Call 757-312-6314 if you're interested in joining.

As with any special event or project, the Auxiliary’s effectiveness goes hand-in-hand with the interests of the community. But the goal of the Hospital Auxiliary service projects remains the same: to provide as much financial support for the hospital as possible. There are several ongoing Hospital Auxiliary events and projects that are successful year after year. Examples of such projects include the Hospital Gift Shop, quarterly vendor sales in the lobby and the Memorial Fund. Additionally, the Hospital Auxiliary is a major sponsor of the Chesapeake Health Foundation's Bra-ha-ha® event and annual fundraising Gala.

Through these types of projects, the Hospital Auxiliary has contributed to renovating nursing units, updating the Lifestyle Health & Fitness Center classrooms and renovating the main lobby. The Hospital Auxiliary has purchased medical equipment for many departments, including pulmonary function testing, mammography, peripheral vascular lab, echocardiogram units, ultrasound machines, ventilators, fetal monitors and transport incubators. Each service project sponsored by the Hospital Auxiliary provides much needed equipment and literally saves thousands of dollars for the hospital.
