In 1953 when Lankenau Medical Center moved to its current site in Lower
Merion Township, The Women’s Board of Lankenau was formed to coordinate
the many diverse activities of Lankenau's individual auxiliaries.
Since that time, this energetic, resourceful group of people has had an
impressive record of raising money in support of the our Medical Center.
A major milestone was reached in 1973 when the president of The Women’s
Board became an ex-officio voting member of The Lankenau Medical Center
Board of Trustees. Today, the Women’s Board and its Auxiliaries account
for many volunteers, some of whom serve directly on The Women’s Board.
During the last five decades the Board and its auxiliaries have been
characterized by a progressive expansion of programs and services.
The Women’s Board is the governing body of Lankenau's Auxiliaries.
Three members from each Auxiliary plus all fundraising chairmen and
standing committee chairmen make up the membership, which meets the
first Thursday of each month, September to June, with the exception of
December when the Christmas Fair is traditionally held.
