Support Your Community Hospital
As a Public District Hospital, Valley Medical Center takes seriously its commitment to helping our community be healthy and safe.
VMC spends more than $12 million annually on charity care and community outreach, each a vital aspect of its mission. Our outreach focuses on virtually all segments of our community: on children with efforts like our bike helmet fittings; on seniors with our annual flu shot program; on those less fortunate through our participation in the free RotaCare community clinic; the list goes on and on.
How You Make A Difference
As the hospital and its network of specialty and primary care clinics continue to focus on providing high-caliber services to the 400,000 members of Public Hospital District Number 1, your support through volunteerism or charitable gifts is vital to helping us stretch our resources. Our Volunteers contribute thousands of hours each year, helping our patients and their families with a warm and caring spirit, while providing a multitude of services with little cost to the hospital.
And charitable gifts from our community help everywhere -- from the purchase of the latest in medical equipment technology, to providing additional resources for programs like senior flu shots, to offering “extra” support like grocery store gift cards for qualifying families with a loved one undergoing cancer treatments.
And choosing to give a gift to your hospital is made easier by our partnership with the Renton Community Foundation (RCF), a 501 (c) 3 organization dedicated to fostering a legacy of philanthropy in the Greater Renton area. RCF has a fund specifically set up to accept gifts for VMC and accepts gifts of cash, checks, or online donations via credit card. RCF also can help people understand how to name Valley Medical Center in their estate plan or will. Charitable gifts are tax deductible to the extent provided by law.
Reaching out to touch and improve the lives of 400,000 residents is no easy task. But with your help, Valley Medical Center can continue to be a leader for all of King County in making our community healthier and safer.
