About the Foundation

The RRH Foundation is a fundraising organization that coordinates efforts to support the hospital through donations and grants. Ridgecrest Regional Hospital is a non-profit, self-supporting institution. Excellence in healthcare depends on community support. Your gifts are tax deductible and are used to purchase much needed equipment.

Since its inception in 1984, the Foundation has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars which has been used to purchase hospital equipment, such as, furnishings for two new Labor and Delivery Rooms and a state-of-the-art treadmill for the Cardiac-Rehab Unit. The Foundation's largest fundraiser is the annual golf tournament that is held in April of each year.

The Directors of the Foundation are proud of the Hospital and work hard to support it. If you are interested in learning more about the Foundation or about becoming a member, please contact Alice Benton, President, at 760-446-6028, Jo Stauffer or Tamara Tilley at 760-446-3551.
