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 25-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.

Jill Christensen, Bettering Our Community
Serving on the Skagit Valley Hospital Foundation Board for nine years gave me an opportunity to help grow the quality services offered at the hospital, but it also helped me grow as a person. I made many lifelong friendships, all while helping to better our community.”
With Gratitude, Debbie Hendricks
My six years on the Skagit Valley Hospital Foundation Board was such a rewarding experience! We worked together as a team to make life better for others in need, and along the way made amazing, life-long friendships. I will continue to volunteer and help this great foundation!”
Thank you, Jama Hiltz
My service on the board was very rewarding. It was a pleasure to work with such dedicated volunteers and leaders who value our health community and valley!”
Rewarding Experience, Brett Simbe
Having the honor of serving on the Skagit Valley Hospital Foundation was one of the most rewarding experiences. If I can recommend something to any current board members it would be to deliver Christmas trees after the auction. Lots of fun to see the faces of the little ones light up!”
