Stop by, donate, and be part of something bigger than yourself. Our kids are counting on us.

💡 Did you know?

Because of YOU, people across the Salinas Valley are receiving world-class heart and stroke care, right here in their own community.

Behind every number is a person who trusted us with their care. 884 stroke patients. 1,427 cardiac patients. 340 individuals rebuilding their strength at the Cardiac Wellness Center. Every one of them deserves exceptional care, and because of YOUR generosity, they received exactly that.

This year, your support helped bring something brand new to our community: a minimally invasive tricuspid clip procedure, giving patients a life-changing option without open-heart surgery.

Swipe through to see the full impact your giving made possible in FY26.

Hearts are worth fighting for. If you would like to support the Cardiac and Stroke Fund and help ensure that our neighbors, friends, and loved ones continue to receive exceptional heart and stroke care close to home, visit the link in our bio to make a gift today. Every donation makes a difference.

This is what compassionate care looks like. This is what giving does.

We are saddened by the passing of Anne Bramers, a longtime friend and former Board Governor of Salinas Valley Health Foundation. For more than 30 years, Anne was a familiar and much-appreciated presence at Foundation events. She was an instrumental member of committees for Las Estrellas del Valle, Berries and Branches, Cherry's Jubilee, among others, always bringing her energy, humor, and no-nonsense spirit to the work. We are grateful for the many years Anne gave to the Foundation and our community. She left her mark in more ways than she probably ever realized, and she will be missed.

Salinas Valley Health Foundation is proud to announce that we have received a generous grant in the amount of $225,000 from Hospice Giving Foundation in support of Palliative Care and Spiritual Care at Salinas Valley Health

This generous gift will help to ensure that patients and families facing serious illness continue to have access to local care that not only manages pain and symptoms, but also honors emotional and spiritual needs during some of life's most difficult moments.

Hospice Giving Foundation has awarded over $34.9 million in grants for community-based support to promote personal choice, preparedness, and the highest standards of compassionate, dignified end-of-life care for individuals and their loved ones. We are so grateful to have them as a partner, and for their long time support of these vital services.

✨ Employee Giving Spotlight

Chris believes that every single dollar matters. As a member of our Employee Giving Committee, she puts that belief into action every day.

For Chris, giving to the Foundation isn't just a gesture. It's a personal commitment to going the extra mile for the patients and families we serve. Through her involvement with the Adopt a Patient Family committee, she's seen firsthand how collective generosity transforms into something truly meaningful for the people in our care.

That's the power of employee giving. Small acts of generosity, multiplied by a team of dedicated people, adding up to make a real and lasting difference.

Thank you, Chris, for your heart, your leadership, and your reminder that we all have a role to play in caring for our community.

Happy National Dance Day! 💃

Today we're celebrating one of our own, Leysa, whose passion for folklórico dancing is as vibrant and beautiful as the tradition itself!

Folklórico is more than just dance. It is a living celebration of culture, history, and community, honoring the rich regional traditions of Mexico and Latin America through every colorful swirl and rhythmic step.

At Salinas Valley Health Foundation, we believe our community's health goes beyond medicine. It lives in our culture, our traditions, and the joy that connects us. Watching Leysa bring that joy to life reminds us exactly who we are here to serve and celebrate.

September is NICU Awareness Month. 💙

Every year, thousands of families face the unexpected journey of having a baby in the NICU. It is a road filled with hope, fear, love, and incredible strength. This month, we honor every tiny fighter and every family who has walked that path.

At Salinas Valley Health, our Level III NICU is equipped to care for our most vulnerable patients, and your generosity makes that possible.

Thanks to donors like you, our NICU is equipped with NicView cameras, allowing parents and loved ones to see their baby through a secure, private video feed, even when they cannot be there in person. Because no parent should ever feel far from their child.

When you give to the Healthy Kids Fund, your donation stays right here in our community, supporting programs and equipment that make a real difference for our littlest patients and their families. Donate today and help us continue caring for the tiniest members of our Salinas Valley family.

Tag someone who has a NICU warrior in their life!
