Mendocino Coast Healthcare Foundation

Best and biggest good wishes to everyone for a healthy and happy new year in 2021! Thank you for all your support - stay safe and we hope to see you in-person before too long.

Here's a few shots from 2020 that I haven't had a chance to print or share before. My LightRoom catalog for 2020 has over 10,000 images in it. Much of what I ...shot was commercial work (mostly real estate), but probably at least a third of that was landscape art work. Of those, I probably printed less than a dozen images, so here's to the ones that almost made it. Wishing everyone a better year in 2021. Come by and see us at the gallery (corner of Franklin and Laurel in Fort Bragg Fri.-Mon. 10-5. See more

So proud of our Harvest Family! They have worked so hard, kept our community safe and stocked with the essentials, and done it all with grace and professionalism! You all ROCK!

This year Christmas looks a little different, but one thing is for certain, the holiday spirit is not missing. Kim Bratton, the local chorus teacher at Mendocin...o High School and Mendocino Middle School has been leading winter choral celebrations at Fort Bragg High School’s Cotton Auditorium for over 10 years. This year as shows are restricted, she found a new avenue to bottle that Christmas spirit! She and her students got together and created a beautiful video slide show of her students singing Christmas carols, included artwork and even the kids signing the words to Silent Night in sign language. Kim reached out to our team at Adventist Health and graciously shared the news and offered to help us spread some holiday cheer to our patients. Sally Swan, our Chaplain Coordinator for Adventist Health Mendocino Coast is helping to provide this slideshow to our patients and is thrilled to have this gift for the holidays. This slide show is an answer to prayer. I have been wondering how to bring carols to our hospital this year. We usually have a group of volunteer chaplains caroling on Christmas Day. This message from Kim is wonderful! We have beautiful local singing to offer to patients. What also makes this extra special for all at the Mendocino Coast is that a number of students that are a part of these performances have parents who work at the hospital and enjoyed seeing it put a smile to patients faces as they watched, bringing this event full circle in our community. We also are very grateful that the ipad we are able to use to show the sideshow and connect patients with loved ones during these times for a visit was donated by the wonderful Fort Bragg Rotary Club. A cheery holiday shout out to them for their amazing support to Adventist Health Mendocino Coast! A big thank you goes out to Kim Bratton and her students for this beautiful gift they have given us as we team up with the community, showing their support. We are very grateful!
