Healthcare District Information
Sonoma Valley Hospital was founded in 1946 as a non-profit district hospital, is governed under the Bylaws of the Sonoma Valley Health Care District by a publicly elected Board of Directors.

FINANCING AND SUPPORT
As part of the Sonoma Valley Health Care District, the hospital is supported primarily by revenues from services, augmented by taxpayer support in the form of a parcel tax, charitable bequests and donations. The Sonoma Valley Hospital Foundation and the Hospital Auxiliary play integral roles in our fundraising efforts.
In November 2009, the community passed Measure P, which granted a $35 million GO bond to enable Sonoma Valley Hospital to renovate and retrofit the facility to the state standards mandated for compliance by 2013.
A Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee watches over all expenses related to Measure P to enable the hospital to renovate and retrofit the facility.
