Book Cart
Several volunteers distribute magazines at least once a week to the 18 waiting rooms and reception areas throughout the Hospital. Keeping up with the demand for magazines each week requires contributions from individuals in the community. Donations of magazines may be left at the Reception Desk. This service helps family and friends pass their time.Gift Shop
The Auxiliary Gift Shop offers a selection of merchandise for hospital patients of all ages, as well as visitors and employees. We have a large display of name-brand stuffed animals, decorative giftware, infant gifts, children's toys, cameras, batteries, toiletries, drugstore items, costume jewelry, balloons, magazines, greeting cards, and a wide selection of candies and snack items. Six volunteers assist our two buyers with keeping the display areas clean and attractive. Volunteers also serve as cashiers.Snack Bar

REVENUE PRODUCING SERVICESThe Auxiliary conducts many revenue-producing activities in order to provide services, purchase equipment, and fund capital projects for the Hospital. Revenue from the vending machines throughout the hospital goes to the Auxilary and thence to the hospital. Book sales, uniform sales, fund-raising projects, and the snack bar and gift shop all generate revenue which the Auxiliary donates to the hospital to improve patient care.
OTHER AUXILIARY SERVICES
The East Liverpool City Hospital Auxiliary sponsors free in-room television for all patients.The Auxiliary sponsors the Lifeline Emergency Alert System, which allows elderly and others in fragile health remain in their own homes and live independently. A Lifeline unit is installed in the individual's home, connected to the telephone, and the person wears a medallion around his or her neck. This medallion is a tiny radio transmitter which, when pressed, sends a signal to the telephone, causing it to dial a local dispatching service 24 hours a day to summon help in an emergency situation. Because it is underwritten by the Auxiliary, the cost of this service is a modest $15 per month or $150 a year. Installation is free. To arrange for Lifeline service, call 330-386-2003. The best times to call are mornings, Monday through Thursday.
