The Decatur County Hospital Auxiliary manages the Just Because Gift Shop located in the lobby of the main entrance of Decatur County Hospital. The shop is staffed by volunteers Monday–Friday 10:00am-2:00pm.
When you purchase an item in the gift shop, you give twice. The proceeds go toward continuing the mission of Decatur County Hospital. It also allows DCH to be the best rural hospital in the country for patients to receive care, employees to work, and providers to practice.

IT'S DONE!
The Decatur County Hospital Auxiliary is giving a sigh of relief. In 2011, we made a pledge to the New Hospital Fund for $80,000.00. Yes, $80,000.00. This would justify the space given to our ‘Just Because’ gift shop in the lobby. Many bake sales, jewelry sales, revenue from the gift shop and the golf tournaments allowed us to present the check ceremony. All this was possible because of the support from our community. Thank you. This $5,000.00 check retires our 2011 commitment but isn’t the end of our endeavors to support the hospital. Our auxiliary continues to give our scholarship to people studying in the medical field and a little extra to the employee fund. This last group is one of our best supporters. Thank you all. Now we are focusing on innovative ways to help support and promote our county hospital. Stop by our gift shop and check us out.
