Our Mission
is to provide philanthropic support and enhance community connection for St. Helena Hospital and its vision to transform the health of our communities.
The Foundation, led by its Board of Directors who serve as vital community advocates, has raised over $90 million to fund the latest equipment and technology, and obtain the finest medical team to provide an elevated health care experience for patients. Donations have allowed for St. Helena Hospital to remain at its best, providing top quality care in the region.
Fulfilling the promise of innovative, compassionate care while supporting improvements such as:
- Project Transform: the hospital’s initiative to modernize the facility
- Facility Updates: updating old rooms throughout the facility and adding two new rooms in the Intensive Care Unit
- Advanced Technology: built to streamline care in the nurse’s station and throughout the facility
- Other improvements: upgrades to the orthopedic unit and lobby areas
