Island Health Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, extends opportunities to community members, service clubs and corporations alike to financially invest in the delivery of award-winning, top-notch healthcare in Anacortes and the surrounding region. Our team of three staff members, up to twenty-one volunteer Board members, and hundreds of donors work together to ensure Island Health remains a local, independent, publicly-funded, health system.

In 1978, a group of visionary neighbors saw a need to support our small community hospital and created the Foundation. Today, thanks to the ongoing generosity of donors, IHF has reached every corner of Island Health, supporting its growth from a small hospital to an award-winning healthcare system. 

The millions of dollars donated since 1978 have nurtured numerous programs and services – from establishing an endowment that serves as a steady undercurrent of stability, to supporting community health initiatives, aiding patients in need, upgrading essential technology, and transforming healthcare in ways unimaginable.
