Southern Nevada Memorial Hospital Auxiliary Aims for Cancer Center Progress
Mrs. Milt Herth, retiring auxiliary president, outlines a year of growth at SNMH. The hospital added a three story wing forcing Gift Shop closure, unveiled a new Gift Shop, and achieved milestones including memorial gifts, a formal officer installation, a restructured Cherry Stripers, and a Wishing Well. The group helped raise about $10,000 in 1963 to support cancer-facility completion, aided by the Max C. Fleischman Fund’s equipment grants, including a 2 MeV Van de Graaf unit, while funds for construction remained unmet.
