St. Helena Hospital Foundation

What St. Helena Hospital Foundation does

St. Helena Hospital Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization established in 2004 (Tax ID #20-1384250) and headquartered at 10 Woodland Road, St. Helena, California, with a staff of 1-10 employees. Its sole operational purpose is to provide philanthropic support for Adventist Health St. Helena and to enhance community connection around that hospital system's mission, having raised over $90 million cumulatively to fund medical equipment, technology, and clinical talent. The foundation's revenue model is donation-driven across five streams: individual gifts (including Associate payroll-deduction giving of 20+ years standing), planned/legacy gifts, corporate matching gifts, and tiered President's Circle giving ($1,000+ annual or $100,000+ lifetime), with a Tax ID-published giving infrastructure and a Candid Seal Platinum 2025 transparency certification.

The foundation's program portfolio combines physical service delivery and donor engagement. On the service side, it operates Mobile Health Services (Mobi)—a mobile unit providing A1C, cholesterol, blood pressure, BMI screenings, vaccinations (flu, COVID, Tdap, RSV), sports physicals, and fresh-produce distribution across Napa County from American Canyon to Calistoga, plus three fixed monthly produce-distribution sites at St. Thomas Aquinas Church (Napa), St. Helena High School, and Calistoga Elementary School. It is also developing the Rapid Care & Primary Care Center, a community-owned facility planned to operate 12 hours/day, 7 days/week, year-round, with clinical operations by Adventist Health St. Helena and a May 30, 2026 fundraising gala in support. Donor programming includes the Elaine M. Jones Oncology Nursing Scholarship, Honor Your Doctor tribute giving, and the Board of Ambassadors volunteer network.

Distribution and go-to-market run through a community-led model: signature fundraising events (the Annual Gala at Louis M. Martini Winery, the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, and the Neighborhood Table) sit alongside a quarterly Inspired! newsletter, a website (shhfoundation.org), and Facebook/Instagram/YouTube channels. Strategic partnerships are core—Adventist Health St. Helena and its specialty institutes (Martin-O'Neil Cancer Center, Coon Joint Replacement Institute, Adventist Heart and Vascular Institute) are core allies, while the Louis M. Martini Winery, three churches/schools, and OneCause (event platform) are marketing/operational partners. A 2021 Napa Valley Vintners grant of $300,000 signals ongoing wine-industry philanthropic alignment with the broader Napa Valley economy.
