The Impact of Your Giving
For 40 years, the Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital Foundation has been
a bridge between the community’s vision for a healthier Salinas
Valley and a partnership with Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System
to make it a reality.
Our generous donors provide the extras that our doctors and medical staff
need to advance state-of-the-art healthcare and deliver what’s truly
needed to create a healthier future for all:
- Funding resources at the Susan Bacon Cancer Resource Center at no cost
for those fighting cancer;
- A new Infusion Center, now under construction, that will provide state-of-the-art
treatment in a healing environment;
-
New GeniusTM 3D MammographyTM technology at the Nancy Ausonio Mammography Center, which detects 20-65
percent more invasive cancers than 2D and reduces callbacks by 40 percent;
- Funding for the Madison Clinic for Pediatric Diabetes operated in Salinas
in conjunction with UCSF to provide the only pediatric diabetes center
in Monterey County, preventing the need for children to travel to the
Bay Area for care;
- An expansion of the Palliative Care program to include more education and
resources for the Palliative Care team to better serve their patients;
- Innovative heart procedures that previously were never available here,
such as the Watchman procedure, which reduces the need to take blood thinners
and changes the lives of many patients; and,
- Funds provided by the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Program
to purchase a vehicle for critically ill children to use for distant medical
appointments.
Our donors are part of a caring community who help Salinas Valley Memorial
Health System make the healthiest impact on the lives of everyone in the
Salinas Valley.
