Natividad Foundation brings people together to strengthen Natividad and create a healthier community. Together with our partners, we help Natividad provide high-quality health care and trauma services for everyone in Monterey County, including the vulnerable.
Donors help Natividad Foundation create a healthier community by supporting innovative programs and high-quality care at Natividad. Natividad provides services not available anywhere else in the area. Natividad’s Trauma Center provides life-saving services to 1,500 critically injured patients yearly, the National Children’s Alliance-accredited Child Advocacy Center provides services for victims of child abuse and neglect, and the California Children's Services-certified Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) gives more than 250 of the tiniest and most fragile babies the best start in life. Through its UCSF-affiliated Family Medicine Residency Program, Natividad is distinguished as the only teaching hospital in Monterey County.
Advanced medical equipment purchased by the Foundation and support for Natividad’s programs help preserve these life-saving services available to all.
Together, donors and Natividad Foundation can continue transforming lives and creating a healthier Monterey County.
Natividad Foundation strengthens Natividad, home to the area’s only Trauma Center which provides life-saving care for all residents and visitors who are critically injured. Natividad provides extensive maternity and newborn services that promote family-centered, healing care and support. Every year, 2,200 babies are born at Natividad and hundreds of infants—some smaller than one pound—are treated in its Level III NICU.
Natividad Foundation enhances these and many other services at Natividad by providing funding for vital medical equipment and more than a dozen programs for the underinsured, underserved, and vulnerable, including CHOICE that empowers survivors of violent crimes to heal and avoid re-injury..
Natividad Foundation is essential to improving the health and well-being of all Monterey County residents.
I want to thank the CHOICE program which has helped me in many ways. CHOICE was there when I had gone through a major low point in my life. I came to the Trauma Center after being stabbed and bullied to the point of violence. Intervention Specialists provided support not only to me but also to my family. They connected us to resources along with Natividad Medical Foundation, helping us with financial difficulties. I graduated top student and received a scholarship to continue my education. CHOICE continues to provide support to me along my journey. Deepest Gratitude, Izzy
