In 2023, the Foundation secured $770,000 from the Sonoma Valley community supported toward Sonoma Valley Hospital&#8217;s conversion to using the Epic\/MyChart electronic health record (EHR). The philanthropic response from our valley helped SVH make the $4M+ transition to this new platform.<\/p>\n<p>SVHF has enabled the hospital to enhance medical services, expand health care and wellness programs, upgrade facilities, and offer services to patients who could not otherwise afford to pay for care.
