Mission

Supporting Salinas Valley Health by funding healthcare services, programs, and facilities for our diverse community.

The Big Idea

When facing a cancer diagnosis, a little bit of hope goes a long way. Support for the Comprehensive Cancer Care Fund helps to provide that hope, along with quality cancer care, support, resources, and services to local cancer patients and their families during what is surely one of the most difficult times in their lives.

The Susan Bacon Cancer Resource Center proudly provides support and resources to cancer patients, regardless of where they receive their care. From complimentary wigs, to connections to our support groups and other community resources, to providing for basic needs like food and transportation, the Cancer Resource Center touches not only the cancer patient directly, but their family as a whole.

Support also funds equipment, services, and resources for our inpatient oncology unit and our Outpatient Infusion Center, ensuring that our patients have the wrap around care needed during and after a difficult diagnosis.

“I can't express the gratitude I have for the Infusion Center because all these lovely nurses have been there since day one…I believe they're not only nurses, but they're angels sent from heaven, because I don't know what I would do without them.”
