Administrative history
On April 28, 1998, the TTH Auxiliary - General Division and the TTH Auxiliary - Western Division joined to form The Toronto Hospital Auxiliary. The Toronto Hospital Auxiliary was dissolved on September 30, 1998.
The members of the Auxiliaries raised money to support initiatives such as the purchase of medical equipment, building and renovation projects, medical research, and bursaries and awards for students. Money was raised through fundraisers such as bake sales, gala events, and hospital gift shops. Auxiliary members also volunteered their services in different areas of the hospital including the gift shops and patient libraries as well as visits with patients.
The auxiliaries created many committees to carry out specific activities and functions. Some of these committees include the Sewing Committee, Library Committee, Concert Committee, Archives Committee, and the Nominating Committee.

Administrative history
The TGH Auxiliary was founded in November 1911 as the Ladies’ Committee, an association of volunteers committed to providing comfort and assistance to Hospital patients, and to support the work of the TGH Social Service Department. Dr. Helen MacMurchy served as first chair of the Committee (1911-1913). The Committee was known successively as the Social Service Association, which was part of the Social Services Department of the hospital (1921-1953); the Women’s Auxiliary (1954-1976); the TGH Auxiliary (1977-); and the TTH Auxiliary - General Division (1992-1998).
