Come rock with us at Rockathon 2023!

Last year, the St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation was able to exceed its goal in helping the Valley Manor purchase vital lifts through its first ever Rockathon. The premise was simple: Teams collected pledges through friends and family and committed to rock in a rocking chair for six whole hours.

Based on the incredible response to this fun event, our committee is pleased to announce the return of the Rockathon for 2023.

 In Memoriam and Planned Giving

Everyone wants to be remembered in some capacity after they pass. Did you know that you can create a lasting legacy for yourself or a loved one while ensuring the future of local healthcare? The St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation is unique in that it raises funds for three key healthcare partners, including the Valley Manor long term care home, St. Francis Memorial Hospital and Madawaska Valley Hospice.

While you can choose to donate to any one of our healthcare partners, you will make the greatest impact by directing funds generally to the St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation. This will give the Foundation the flexibility it needs to ensure funds are directed where they are needed, and when they are needed, the most.

By designating In Memoriam donations to the St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation, purchasing an element on the In Memory Mural, or assigning a gift to the Foundation in your will, you are providing future generations access to local healthcare.

FACES OF THE FRONTLINE

As Covid-19 continues to affect every aspect of our lives, we’d like to express our deepest gratitude to all who are keeping us safe.

Thank you to all of our local healthcare workers for your dedication during this difficult time.  We are so grateful to every one of the frontline staff at St Francis Memorial Hospital, Rainbow Valley Community Health Centre, Valley Manor and MV Hospice Palliative Care who continue to work selflessly during this stressful time.  It provides our community with so much comfort knowing that you are all there for us.

We recognize and appreciate you!

If St. Francis Memorial Hospital, Valley Manor, or Madawaska Valley Hospice Palliative Care holds a special place in your heart because of a personal experience or that of a family member or friend, we would love to hear from you!
