The Morris Hospital Auxiliary is excited for our 56^th Anniversary Auxiliary Gala on Saturday, April 18, 2026 at Morris Country Club. We hope you have the date saved! Proceeds will be used to support a transformative initiative: the creation of a new surgical suite to house our Da Vinci robotic surgical system.  

Robotic-assisted surgery represents a major advancement in patient care, offering greater surgical precision, smaller incisions, reduced pain, and faster recovery times. We have already secured the Da Vinci system — a bold investment in the future of healthcare in our region. Now, we must build the specialized operating room required to fully realize its life-changing potential.

This project will:

• Expand access to advanced, minimally invasive surgery for rural patients
• Reduce the need for travel to distant hospitals
• Strengthen our ability to recruit and retain top surgical talent
• Improve outcomes for patients and families across our region

The doors will open at 6pm with a cocktail hour and silent auction, followed by dinner, the gala program and live auction.
