    Thanks to the amazing generosity and hard work of the Barton County Auxiliary, staff now have a brand-new massage chair in the hospital’s relaxation room. This fantastic addition was made possible by the proceeds from the annual plant sale and other fundraisers held throughout the year. A huge thank you to the volunteers for always finding ways to support and care for those who care for others. Anyone that would like to become a hospital volunteer can visit www.coxhealth.com for an application.
