Thank You Maryann Pinkston! Welcome to Mary Nakajima!
Thank you to Maryann Pinkston, Women’s Auxiliary Board President from 2023 to 2025! We have enjoyed having her lead us these past two years! Under her leadership we completed our “Breast Health for Life” Pledge of $2 Million and started on our current pledge the “Integrated Cancer Care Campaign” of $2 Million! We thank her for her outstanding leadership as our Board President. You’ve led with grace, compassion and a steady hand - thank you for supporting our challenges and celebrating our successes!
Welcome to our new Women’s Auxiliary Board President, Mary Nakajima from the Greystone Branch of the Women’s Auxiliary. We are excited to have your vision, energy and leadership (plus your wonderful sense of humor) as we head into our next chapter. We look forward to working alongside you, sharing ideas and continuing to build our strong foundation. Here’s to two year’s of fun, collaboration and success under your leadership!
The Women’s Auxiliary to Chester County Hospital
A Legacy of Service. A Community of Friendship. A Commitment to Care.
The Women’s Auxiliary to Chester County Hospital is one of the most vibrant and rewarding ways to support our hospital and community. With seven dynamic branches, the Auxiliary brings together dedicated volunteers who share a passion for service—and along the way, build lifelong friendships.
Whether organizing elegant galas, festive fundraisers, or hands-on community events, the Auxiliary creates meaningful experiences that are as fun and fulfilling for members as they are impactful for guests. Each event is a reflection of the creativity, energy, and heartfelt dedication that define this remarkable group.
The Auxiliary’s most recent initiative, the Integrated Cancer Care Campaign, is a bold pledge to raise $2 million in support of Chester County Hospital’s advanced cancer care services. This effort will help bring the latest treatments and technology to patients right here in our community.
There are many ways to get involved—join a branch, attend an event, or volunteer alongside this inspiring group of women making a difference together.
Discover the Women’s Auxiliary and experience the joy of giving back—together.
