Who We Are

St. Mary Advocates was formerly known as the Hoboken University Medical Center Auxiliary. When HUMC was sold to a for-profit group in late 2011 the Auxiliary could no longer operate as a charitable organization affiliated with the hospital. It reincorporated itself as St. Mary Advocates, Inc a nonprofit charitable organization. Its new name reflected the original name of the organization – the St. Mary Women’s Auxiliary – founded in 1966. Our mission is to raise funds for health care and health education.
