As the original Auxiliary, the Methodist Dallas Medical Center Auxiliary has watched Methodist Health System blossom into the organization it is today. In April 2010, the Methodist Dallas Auxiliary was incorporated as a nonprofit 501(c)3, making it a separate entity of Methodist Dallas. In the past, the Auxiliary has raised funds for supplies, equipment, programs, services, and its members have volunteered countless hours.
To engage members of the North Texas Community to provide funding and volunteer support for Methodist Dallas Medical Center and its patients, employees, and healthcare providers.

In the 1950s, there was a critical shortage of nurses, much like today, and the Auxiliary stepped up to bring some relief to the shortfall. Miss Lela Putnam led the Auxiliary’s campaign to secure nursing scholarships, and then in 1966 a second scholarship was formed in honor of Mrs. Ed Wesson, a prominent member of the Auxiliary. Both of these scholarships are still active today.
