Founded in 1978, Ridgeview Foundation has made an indelible impact by helping Ridgeview Medical Center deliver on its mission to enhance the health of people it serves by creating a culture that nurtures the whole person: mind, body and spirit. The Foundation, an independent, nonprofit organization, is guided by a volunteer board of directors whose members are representative of communities within Ridgeview’s service area. Together, staff and the boards of directors of the Foundation and Ridgeview Medical Center collaborate to identify funding priorities.
