Sonoma Valley Hospital Foundation kicked off the beginning of a $360,000 campaign to replace all of the hospital’s antiquated beds with the installment of the first 17 beds and 27 new mattresses into the Skilled Nursing Facility. In addition to the minimum 45 new beds needed, fundraising goals altogether include helping the hospital to acquire 51 new mattresses, 24 mattress pumps, and a few new gurneys.

The foundation is appealing to the entire community for help in enhancing the comfort and safety of hospital patients and their caregivers by helping with this ambitious project this year. “By donating in support of the new beds, everyone can make a direct difference in helping to provide the best possible comfort and care for hospitalized family members and friends,” said Mary Caletges, the foundation’s executive director.

To contribute to the beds replacement program, please make your tax-deductible donation to SVH Foundation, 347 Andrieux Street, Sonoma, CA 95476, or contact Mary Caletges for more details at 707-935-5070 or caletgesm@svh.com.
