About Us
North Valley Hospital Foundation was established for the purpose of promoting quality healthcare in the North Valley Hospital District. NVH is the only acute care hospital in North Okanogan County that is designed to meet the needs of our community residents. Give the increasing costs of providing healthcare, coupled with reimbursement shortfalls from Medicare and Medicaid, it is difficult to provide the necessary program enhancements and service improvements required to continue the quality of healthcare. Our foundation supports North Valley Hospital as well as North Valley Extended Care.
Congratulations to the 2026 NVCHA Scholarship Recipients! (L-R) Morgan Brantner, Kayla Hayworth, Grace Castrejon, & Corina Timm.
North Valley Community Health Assn. is proud to support these four students on their healthcare journeys.
Giving Tree
After the new addition to the hospital was finished in 2010, it was decided that there needed to be a way to show appreciations for the donations and support from our community. Over a year of planning, design work and labor, a beautiful Giving Tree bloomed in the main lobby entrance of NVH. Please make sure to stop by and take a look at the names of those who helped the new hospital become a possibility. These people are a large part of the reason that we are able to continue "Growing Healthcare Close to Home." Additional contributions and donations further empower the Foundation to achieve its ongoing mission to enhance medical care in the District.
