The Bear Valley Community HealthCare District Foundation was formed in December, 1996 as an ongoing source of fundraising and public relations for the HealthCare District. We are proud to work alongside our donors; volunteers; physicians and employees; and our friends in the community who have contributed significant resources over the years to help Bear Valley Community Hospital to achieve the vision “to be the premier provider of emergency medical and healthcare services in our Big Bear Valley”.

Give a special gift this year to a loved one!

Each year, on the second Saturday of November, a beautiful pine tree on the Hospital Campus is lit at dusk. Everyone is invited to purchase a symbolic light, in honor of, or in memory of a loved one. These names are read aloud at the ceremony.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1586356473482{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]
