Our Blue Bird Auxiliary.

The Blue Bird Auxiliary serves four hospital campuses throughout the Methodist Healthcare System. Volunteers have the opportunity to interact with patients, patient families, medical and administrative staff throughout the hospital campuses.

Established as the “Blue Birds of Laurel Heights” by a small church group in 1920. The Blue Birds aim to accomplish:

Service to Others

Selflessness

Fellowship

The Blue Bird Auxiliary is honored to serve the community and create a network of life-long companions. We believe that by making others smile, we make our own days brighter.

Our History

In 1920, a group of young adults at Laurel Heights Methodist Church founded the “Blue Bird’s of Laurel Heights.” Since then, the Auxiliary has been actively involved in almost every area of hospital service.

Service Opportunities

There are over 30 areas of service in which you can participate. Some involve patient contact, while others consist of clerical assignments, sewing at home or committee work.

  • “I like to help people. I enjoy delivering mail and flowers. Walking into a room with a beautiful bouquet from a family member or friend of the patient helps to cheer them up even when they are not feeling well. Helping relatives select that special gift from the Gift Shop for their loved ones, whether to cheer them or to celebrate a new member of the family is such a joy.
