A healthy community doesn’t just happen. It’s built, person by person, program by program, by those who care enough to act. At Valley Health Foundation, we support, innovate, and advocate for a stronger, more equitable healthcare system right here in Santa Clara County. 

When private hospitals close or scale back services, safety-net hospitals step in—often without additional resources—to ensure no one is left behind. Yet these very institutions, already stretched thin, are the ones most vulnerable to Medicaid cuts, jeopardizing care for entire communities. Medicaid isn’t just a safety net for individuals; it’s a backbone for entire communities. When funding is cut, it doesn’t just affect those enrolled—it affects the clinics, hospitals, and providers that serve everyone. That’s why we’re here. To ensure our county’s healthcare system remains strong, responsive, and resilient, not just in moments of crisis, but every day.

Through your support, we fuel groundbreaking maternal health initiatives, expand mental health care, strengthen trauma services, and help recruit and retain the frontline healthcare professionals our region depends on. This is how we rise to the challenge - together. Because when we invest in health, we invest in hope, dignity, and the future of our community.
