Prospective members are invited to attend two Auxiliary functions before joining. This includes playgroup, social events, and service projects.

WHO ARE WE?

The BAMC Auxiliary was founded in 1953 as a military spouses’ organization. 

Today we operate as a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization. We are a private organization and are not part of the Department of Defense or any of its components and have no governmental status.

Our mission is to provide support to Brooke Army Medical Center's patients and the military community through service projects, fundraising, and special events.

We hold monthly events and service projects that encourage friendship and support among military families.  We fundraise for and support various BAMC and Fort Sam Houston organizations including the BAMC Army Fisher Houses, the Warrior and Family Support Center (WFSC), the Center for the Intrepid, and various hospital departments and services within BAMC.

Why BAMC Auxiliary instead of SAMMC Auxiliary?

"BRAC 2005 directed the realignment of the inpatient medical function of the 59th Medical Wing (Wilford Hall Medical Center) to Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) in San Antonio to create the San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC). This deadline was met on Sept. 6, 2011, when the final relocated inpatient service opened at Brooke Army Medical Center. BAMC, the hospital, is now known as SAMMC. Brooke Army Medical Center now refers to the headquarters that oversees all Army clinics in San Antonio and the surrounding area. Wilford Hall Medical Center is now known as the Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center."
