For more than 50 years, the Park Nicollet Methodist Hospital Service League has supported care to patients, their families and the community. The success of many Methodist Hospital programs and projects is due, in part, to support from the service league.

Through funding and service, the service league supports the following

• The Meadows Gift Shop and Café 
• Park Nicollet Frauenshuh Cancer Center hospitality area
• Sharing Fund (emergency assistance for patients and their families)
• Hospital tours for schools and community groups
• Grants for the hospitality cart, Methodaires, junior volunteers and more
• Community education
• Gifts for patients, flowers at Christmas and Mother’s Day, walker bags and cancer caps
• New Year's baby stockings for our Family Birth Center
• Sponsorship of Methodist Hospital’s 100-year history wall
• Park Nicollet Foundation's Tree of Lights  

This is a wonderful opportunity to help others and make new friends.  Occasionally, we need help with mailings, knitting and sewing projects, and other special projects. 
 
Time commitments range from once a week to occasional support.
 
Service league membership is open to anyone interested in serving Methodist Hospital and Park Nicollet Clinic patients. Membership dues are $10 per year. Dues help fund the new Cancer Center hospitality area. Our annual meeting and luncheon occurs in November, and features interesting speakers and opportunities to socialize. The "Update" newsletter is mailed to members three times a year.

 For more information, call the service league office at 952-993-5128 and leave a message. Someone will respond within 48 hours.
