The purpose of the Santa Clara Valley Wellness Foundation is not unlike that of many hospital based foundations. As changes in government regulations cause reimbursement of health care costs to shrink, it becomes increasingly important to find alternative resources that will allow us to provide the high caliber of care the community has come to expect. The Foundation is committed to supporting and maintaining a comprehensive health care system dedicated to the needs of patients, and their families, in the Santa Clara River Valley.For sponsorship or ticket information for the December gala, call the Santa Clara Valley Wellness Foundation at 525-0633.

The Santa Clara Valley Wellness Foundation will be holding a gala event December 5, “We’ll Have a Blue Christmas Without You: Celebrate the Season.” The event will be at the Oxnard Marriott Courtyard Hotel (just off Highway 101 at Vineyard).Scheduled for the evening will be a Silent Auction from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m., with items donated from local sources (vacation sites, artwork, handmade quilts, etc.); dinner of filet mignon of beef with shrimp scampi and asparagus, or vegetarian lasagna; a live auction of no more than 10 items from 8 to 8:30 p.m.; and from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. a tribute performed by Raymond Michael to the “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” Elvis Presley.The Santa Clara Valley Wellness Foundation is an outgrowth of the Santa Paula Hospital Foundation that formed in 1984 to provide funding for the original Santa Paula Memorial Hospital, which closed its doors in 2003. In the summer of 2005, in anticipation of the reopening of the hospital under the auspices of the Ventura County Medical Center, the Foundation Board changed the name of the organization and expanded its mission to include a new commitment to supporting a broader range of health care initiatives for the growing cities of Santa Paula, Fillmore and Piru.
