Thank you to Ventura County Association of Health Underwriters (CAHIP) for your continued support of the Pediatrics Department at Ventura County Medical Center (VCMC). For more than two decades, CAHIP has generously supported this cause, and this year’s $2,500 contribution continues that tradition while helping advance the quality of pediatric care provided to local children and families.

HCFVC CEO Amy Towner was joined by CAHIP Ventura County President David Garcia, President-Elect Rodney Owen, Treasurer Christopher Castadio, and PAC Chair Shane Alan Canter at VCMC to present this contribution in support of local pediatric services.

CAHIP’s longstanding commitment makes a meaningful difference for VCMC’s young patients and strengthens the dedicated physicians, nurses, and medical teams who care for them every day.

Driscoll's continues to make a meaningful philanthropic impact on health care right here in the County of Ventura.🍓

Through its One Family, One Earth™ initiative, Driscoll’s is strengthening the communities where its berries are grown and harvested. In partnership with Health Care Foundation for Ventura County, this support expands diabetes care and strengthens language access and interpreter services, directly benefiting patients served by Ventura County Health Care Agency (VCHCA) and helping ensure equitable, high-quality care for all.

A public safety-net health and hospital system like VCHCA cannot thrive in isolation. Its impact is strengthened through public-private partnerships. Organizations like Driscoll’s, whose philanthropic leadership and deep-rooted commitment to Ventura County play a vital role in expanding access to care, enhancing critical services, and improving health outcomes for all residents.

Health Care Foundation for Ventura County is grateful for Driscoll’s continued investment in our community and the lasting difference this support is making for local patients and families.💙
