The Lompoc Hospital District Foundation held its annual Trustee meeting on Thursday and presented a check for $100,000 to Lompoc Valley Medical Center. 

More than 300 walkers and runners descended on the Mission Club Golf Course in Vandenberg Village Saturday for the Lompoc Hospital District Foundation Colorthon 5K.

Registration is open for the 2022 Lompoc Hospital District Foundation Colorthon 5K at the Mission Club in Vandenberg Village on Oct. 29

Lompoc's first Family Health and Fitness Day will take place on Sept. 17, with plenty of free fun field activities, Zumba and yoga, and a host of community vendors.

After a two year hiatus due to the global Covid pandemic, the nonprofit Lompoc Hospital District Foundation reached its $100,000 fundraising goal at the Flower Valley Golf Classic.

Though the pandemic disrupted the usually busy schedule for our Lompoc Hospital District Foundation, the nonprofit organization closed out 2021 with a rousing and successful Colorthon 5K fundraiser.

During its annual meeting, the Lompoc Hospital District Foundation presented a $100,000 donation to Lompoc Valley Medical Center toward purchasing a patient monitoring system to be used in the hospital’s operating suite.

More than 300 people ran, walked, and strolled at the Colorthon 5K at the Mission Club on Oct. 30, raising almost $24,000 for the Lompoc Hospital District Foundation. Participants were sprayed with plumes of dyed cornstarch during the event, creating multi-hued faces and shirts as they traveled the picturesque course.

The 2021 Lompoc Hospital District Foundation Colorthon 5K will be at the Mission Club in Vandenberg Village on October 30.

After 10 years as an artistic showpiece at the entrance to LVMC, a colorful mural depicting the History of Medicine in the Lompoc Valley is getting a makeover.

For more than 30 years, we have been committed to raising money to help Lompoc Valley Medical Center purchase necessary medical equipment to expand services for our local residents. We have been an active and engaged provider of healthcare-related lectures and have worked diligently to promote enhanced access to care in the Lompoc Valley.

We're sorry to announce the passing of hospital volunteer June Schwartz, who died Monday afternoon at the age of 98. June volunteered countless hours to the Lompoc Hospital District Foundation, the Lompoc Hospital Women’s Auxiliary, and the LVMC “Blue Coat” program. She was still volunteering in the final months of her life until the COVID-19 pandemic forced her to stay close to home.

She was a volunteer for the hospital for more than 50 years. June spent decades delivering magazines and freshly cut flowers to patients at LVMC and residents of the Comprehensive Care Center, “trying to make people happy,” as she said. 

She will be missed.
