Celebrating 31 years of Generosity and Gratitude.
Skagit Valley Hospital Foundation
Established in 1988, the Skagit Valley Hospital Foundation is a private, non-profit corporation that acts as the official gift-receiving agency for Skagit Regional Health. The sole mission of the Foundation and its 28-member board of directors is to raise, manage and distribute funds to assure the continued availability of quality healthcare services and programs. While the name is specific to Skagit Valley Hospital, reflecting it's roots as a hospital foundation, the Skagit Valley Hospital Foundation has funds that support programs and healthcare services across the Skagit Regional Health system.
