The St. Jerome Guild, Inc., a not-for-profit volunteer organization has been serving the local healthcare community for decades and celebrated its 100-year Jubilee a few years ago. The group continues to be an active organization donating vital equipment to UMMC. The Guild’s Hometown Heroes Star Initiative honoring all UMMC employees for their humanitarian efforts during the height of the pandemic raised $3000. These funds contributed toward the Guild’s $7000 purchase of an urgently needed freezer to store the Covid vaccine. 

In 2022, the Guild pledged $20,000 over five years toward the Intensive Care Unit Expansion at UMMC North Street, and donated $5000 towards the Foundation Cornerstone initiative. The Gift Shop is excited to be moving from Bank Street to Rochester Regional / UMMC’s new medical campus on Oak Orchard Road this winter!

For decades, the Guild continues to offer our annual Health Professional Scholarship to UMMC employees pursuing higher education and who will continue to serve our healthcare community. Children who visit Urgent Care and the Emergency Department are comforted with plush animals. Cancer patients have received personal care bags. 

The Guild participates in the UMMC Annual Employee Recognition Day to thank employees for their efforts serving the community. Guild members donate thousands of volunteer hours working at both shops, events, and have worked on UMMC Foundation projects. 

Over the years the Guild has hosted many fundraisers including fashion show luncheons and hopes to sponsor another next summer. St. Jerome Gift Shop business hours vary Monday through Friday from 9 am – 3 pm.  

New members are welcome to join the Guild throughout the year and our annual Membership Tea is held in September. Members attend monthly meetings with interesting programs and presenters. The Guild manages a monthly lottery and the community is invited to participate.
