The Humboldt Hospital Auxiliary has already donated well over $2 million to Humboldt General Hospital over the past four decades. Now the all-volunteer organization has raised that tally with another $60,000-plus with the purchase of a portable X-ray machine. The machine will provide imaging services on the Black Rock Desert during this year's Burning Man event as part of HGH EMS Rescue's medical operation there. HGH Administrative Director Pam Wickkiser said the unit will also be used in-home for patients who cannot make the trip to the hospital or at community sporting and other events. Since 1968 the Humboldt Hospital Auxiliary, or "pink ladies and gentlemen" have donated everything from small medical supplies to large capital items. Above is Joe McIntyre, Pam Wickkiser and Norma Kearns.
