For patient safety, MCM has recently implemented a new process for visitors to labor and delivery, postpartum, nursery, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), pediatrics and second floor medical/surgical patients. Visitors must show a photo ID and pick up a “Visitor” sticker badge from the main nurse’s station. These are good for 24 hours before becoming void.

The NICU visiting hours could be subject to limitation based on the health condition of the baby. Otherwise, parents and grandparents are welcome in the nursery, except during the following shift change times:

The Gift Shop, located on the first floor of the hospital, is staffed by volunteers and is open from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday. On weekends, hours of operation are limited.

The shop provides a variety of gift items, flowers, jewelry, magazines, greeting cards, candy and toiletries. Funds from the Gift Shop support scholarships, local charities and various needs throughout the community.

The Auxiliary was organized in 1952 at the old hospital – Collin Memorial Hospital – located on Graves Street in McKinney. Mr. Richard Bass, CEO of the hospital at the time, was very instrumental in getting the Auxiliary organized.

Today, the Auxiliary is comprised of nearly 100 members who have joined together in the spirit of volunteerism to serve the community. With services that are as varied as their backgrounds and age groups, each volunteer is assigned a specific job within the hospital. Some volunteers work at the front desk, where they greet and provide directions to visitors and vendors. Others work in our Gift Shop. Additional positions include working in the pharmacy, food and nutrition services, day surgery and radiology, emergency room, on the medical/surgical floors and at the Rehabilitation Campus.

Several fundraising events are led by the Auxiliary each year to help fund various philanthropic projects. The Gift Shop, located in the main lobby, is one of the primary fundraisers.

The funds raised by Medical City McKinney’s Auxiliary are used to:

• Donate non-budgeted capital equipment and services to the hospital
• Pay for prescriptions for patients who cannot afford them
• Provide transportation assistance for patients living alone
• Awards scholarships to high school seniors who plan to major in healthcare
• Offers donations to area charitable organizations to support their valuable work

Our Mission:

• To support the mission of Medical City McKinney
• To provide courteous, compassionate care to patients, their families, visitors, staff and other members of the community
• To provide philanthropic gifts to benefit hospital, staff, patients and the community
