Adventist Health merges its foundations to better serve communities

For decades, these foundations, which consist of members of our communities, have raised much-needed funds to pay for essential upgrades, equipment, expansion projects and other services at our hospitals.

In 2016, with the help of our communities and employees, the foundation disbursed:

• over $850,000 to the Hanford Family Birth Center
• over $400,000 toward a $4 million pledge to Adventist Medical Center – Hanford
• $2,500 to pay for memory stones for families whose loved ones passed away in our Intensive Care Units (ICUs)
• over $10,000 to three migrant farmworker patients from the Hanford Breast Care Center
• over $3,700 to assist with funeral expenses for stillborn babies born at our facilities.

“It’s been wonderful to work with foundation board members and supporters throughout our communities,” says Ed Ammon, Foundation Executive Director. “I’m eager to see what we can accomplish together.”
