The Women’s Board is traditionally comprised of approximately 50 active members, as well as highly valued Honorary, Affiliate, Associate, and Sustaining members. We meet monthly, September through June, and host over eight successful fundraising events each year, ranging from the Spring Celebration/Gala to our three-day June Fete Fair and Horse & Pony Show. The talents, leadership skills, creative thinking, time, and financial support of the Women’s Board members contribute to the overall success of the organization.Â
There are four different Auxiliaries that support the Women’s Board. Membership in the overarching Women’s Board is by invitation only – members nominate Auxilians who have shown interest and demonstrate initiative and dedication to the mission.
The Auxiliaries are an active and strong support group for the Women’s Board and hospitals with 200+ members of all ages, backgrounds, and interests. They devote their time and talents to friend-raising and fundraising according to the mission of the Women’s Board.

100 Years of Service
We are proud of the rich contributions the AHF Women’s Board has brought to the community throughout its more than 100-year history. The Women’s Board as we know it was formed in 1913. Our first fundraising event generated the seed money to purchase linens and necessary equipment for a new hospital, which opened its doors in 1914. Since that time, our mission has not wavered. We continue to provide funds for specialized equipment, healthcare education, physical building campaigns, and hospital programs of Jefferson Health – Abington.
