he Healthcare Foundation Northern Sonoma County has been providing grants for services and equipment to care for women with breast cancer since the foundation’s inception in 2001. Technology grants to Healdsburg District Hospital have provided a new CT suite of equipment, women’s diagnostic center equipment and this year provided for the purchase of a new “wide” MRI that will create the opportunity for bet-

This year, the Healthcare Foundation’s grant commitments include $100,000 each to Alliance Medical Center, Alexander Valley Healthcare and PDI Surgery Center to ensure that those who need screenings, medicine and medical and dental care can been seen locally, close to home.

The foundation earlier this year made a $50,000 grant to Corazón Healdsburg to support its outreach and engagement work with low income Latino residents.
