Hearts of the Hospital Virtual Event
The Sequoia Hospital Foundation’s Hearts of the Hospital group was established to help advance the decades-long legacy of Dignity Health Sequoia Hospital through public education and engagement while raising funds necessary to transform patient care and programs, and secure cutting-edge technology today and well into the future.
This year’s virtual event will be held on August 26 - 30, 2020. The event will feature a silent auction, performances by singer/songwriter Ruth Gerson (pictured below left) and local singer/songwriter Summer Brennan (pictured below right) as well as a private performance by internationally-renowned opera singer Pasquale Esposito. Proceeds will benefit Sequoia Hospital Foundation’s Caregiver Response Fund.
