Supporting community projects and programs
As a not-for-profit health system, Adventist Health Mendocino Coast is proud to serve our community. One of the ways we do this is through philanthropic support for projects and programs offered within the communities we serve.
Aligning our support with our mission and community’s needs
As part of our mission to inspire health, wholeness and hope, we support community programs that focus on medical care, education, health screenings, and other community initiatives. We are honored to partner with community organizations on initiatives that leverage our strengths as a healthcare provider.
We invest in our community to improve the quality of life for current and future residents. Sponsorships are tied to the high-priority areas outlined in our Community Health Needs Assessment, which consist of mental health, substance use, and domestic abuse.
