Door County Medical Center Auxiliary volunteers were in great need once the Door County Medical Center began to reopen as people were needed to facilitate patient visits. The auxiliary volunteers were recognized on Thursday as those who volunteered at the height of the pandemic were named 2020 Door County Medical Center Auxiliary Volunteers of the Year. As more DCMC services opened, auxiliary volunteers had to act as door monitors, asking people precautionary questions upon entering the facility, ensuring mask and sanitizer use, and disinfecting surfaces. As 2020 went on, more things at the hospital reopened and volunteers were needed to fill in those areas as well. DCMC Auxiliary Marketing Chair John Koski thought they handled the unpredictability of the situation well. 

Once the vaccine rollout came, some volunteers also shifted focus toward vaccination clinics.
