Mission and Milestones
The mission of the Sequoia Hospital Foundation is to develop and secure funding for the benefit of Sequoia Hospital.
For nearly forty years, the Sequoia Hospital Foundation has partnered with our community to support and enhance Dignity Health Sequoia Hospital’s life-changing and life-saving programs. Foundation support has touched every one of the hospital's patient care departments and in so doing has impacted the care every one of Sequoia's patients receive each day.
Last year more than 1,000 donors gave generously to support our mission and we are pleased that every donation raised locally stays local and 100% of every gift is used to benefit the donors' area of choice.
Recent gifts have supported essential equipment for Sequoia's award-winning Heart and Vascular Institute, caregiver response and resiliency programs for our physicians and staff, scholarships to train the next generation of nurses, cutting-edge technology for cancer diagnosis and treatment, support for our family-favorite Birth Center, emergency medicine and so much more.
Currently the foundation is raising funds for new dual source CT imaging equipment and enhancements to the Sequoia Hospital Breast and Diagnostic Center.
Sequoia's history
The history of Sequoia Hospital and the Sequoia Hospital Foundation stretches back to 1938 when a group of nine women, led by "Dove" Beeger, appealed to the City Council of Redwood City for a hospital to serve the residents of Southern San Mateo County. Delayed by World War Two, their vision became a reality in October of 1950.
