A healthy community is built by people who care enough to act. At Valley Health Foundation, we turn that care into strength for our County's public healthcare system, the safety-net health system that more than one in four Santa Clara County residents rely on for care, regardless of insurance or ability to pay.

That system is under real pressure. When private hospitals scale back services, our safety-net health system steps in, often without added resources. Federal funding cuts put these already stretched institutions further at risk, threatening care for everyone who depends on them, and in Santa Clara County, that's a lot of us.
