Beginning in 1991 with the Charter Heartbeat Drive, the Foundation has progressed, reaching many milestones. From building Endowment Funds to generating funds for Capital Improvements, more than $1.5 million has been provided to further Barton Hospital's commitment to the health and wellness of our community.
The Foundation's Vision can only continue through the valued support of those who care the most...You. Supporting the Foundation's effort is easy. Your contribution will make a difference. From pledging any size gift to establishing a trust, your generous donations will support our many needed programs.
The Barton Foundation is led by a group of 25 community volunteers, serving 3-year terms as members of the Board of Trustees. This board oversees the direction and provides the guidance to the staff and volunteers. Board members evaluate and approve projects, special events, fund raising concepts and expenditure of donor gifts. The board operates under regulations of the Internal Revenue Service as well as state guidelines. Although the board appears independent and separate from the Barton Hospital Board of Directors, they are ultimately accountable to the Hospital Board.
Since 1990, the Barton Foundation has supported the health of our community and – because of the generosity of people like you – provided the people of South Lake Tahoe and surrounding communities the best health care possible.
Through our foundation, Barton Health is able to purchase the latest technology, provide hospice services, manage a 48-bed skilled nursing facility for the elderly, operate a 24-hour emergency department, run the Barton Community Clinic which provides health care to the poor and uninsured, and do what is best for our community – because we live here too.
