Sonoma Valley Hospital Foundation

The Sonoma Valley Hospital Foundation (SVH) is dedicated to bringing health and well being to the residents of Sonoma Valley through philanthropic and volunteer support for Sonoma Valley Hospital. Your contributions assist the Hospital in its mission to maintain, improve and restore the health of everyone in our community.

Since its founding in 1982, the SVH Foundation has raised more than six million dollars from individual donors, charitable foundations and corporations to enhance medical services, equipment and programs, and to help cover the Hospital’s cost of caring for patients who could otherwise not afford to pay.

Each year, we are able to make significant contributions to the Hospital to help it meet its most urgent needs. Here are some recent examples of projects that have been funded by the Foundation:

  • “Every Woman Counts”: Each month, the Foundation underwrites the cost of providing mammography services to uninsured and under-insured women.
  • Bed replacement: The Foundation has replaced over 30 antiquated hospital beds with new, state-of-the-art beds, thereby significantly increasing the comfort and safety of patients and their caregivers.
  • InSight Surgical Mini C- arm for the emergency department and operating room: This purchase replaced old equipment that needed frequent repair. With the new equipment, the hospital is able to provide safer and more consistent care to orthopedic patients.
