The Auxiliary existed to raise funds for the Prince Henry (Homeopathic) Hospital. It did so through e.g. raffles, competitions, social occasions with proceeds usually given to a hopital representative at Auxiliary Branch annual meetings. The Branch became an Auxiliary for Peter McCallum Hospital when Prince Henry's was closed in 1991. Records were held by Phyllis Maher and later donated by Heather Wale who was honourary Assistant Secretary in 1991. It is likely that the branch was formed in 1927.Minute book of the Prince Henry Hospital (Homeopathic Hospital until 1934) Auxiliary, Port Melbourne Branch, 1932 - 1966charities and appeals, social activities, societies clubs unions and other organisations, health - hospitals, mrs daisy howey, mrs j p prest, mrs w mosham, mrs w taylor, prince henry hospital auxiliary - port melbourne branch, homeopathic hospital auxiliary - port melbourne branch
