Improving lives through Action, Involvement
and Collective Philanthropy
Who we are
Next Gen is a lively group of community members who care
deeply about having the best local hospital for our family and friends. We actively support Petaluma Valley
Hospital as an important
community asset and choose to give of our time and resources to enhance the
quality of health care in our community.
Working together we are making a significant impact on the face of
health care in Petaluma,
and lets be honest—having fun while we’re at it.
Educational meetings
Sharing information and ideas is one of the top priority
goals for Next Gen. We offer sessions
for our members that focus on a variety of relevant health care topics. Come
learn and converse with our local experts including health care policy leaders,
physicians, nurses, physical therapists and many others.
Mixers
Being able to spend time with people you enjoy is
priceless. Next Gen holds general mixers
that provide the opportunity to gather for wine and appetizers and hear about
what’s up at Petaluma
Valley Hospital. This fun time enables us to meet new friends
or spend time with old friends. We
already have something in common…we care about health care in Petaluma.
100 Friends
100 Friends is a program of the Next Gen group that requires
an annual membership donation of $100.
The money collected is placed in a restricted account and
100% of it stays here to benefit Petaluma Valley
Hospital. Employer matching funds may be used toward
the annual membership donation. This
money is used to purchase essential medical equipment for the hospital. Members of this group choose the funding
recipients on an annual basis.
Annual events
Having fun, spending time with friends, and raising money
for a good cause…who said you can’t do three things at once? On an annual basis, Next Gen hosts a Bunco
and Poker Tournament and a 5k Run For Your Life
Twilight Run/Walk. See our events page for more information.
Why we do it
We live here, we’re raising families here, we play and work
here. We love our family, friends and
community and believe that access to superior care close to home plays a vital
role in our health and happiness.
From a parent experiencing a heart attack to a child with a
sports injury, Petaluma
Valley Hospital
has been here to support us and we want to respond by providing that same level
of support to this valuable community asset.
We choose action, involvement and solutions.
We all know that we can accomplish more by
working together—if we learn share and collaborate, we can make a difference
for the health of our community.
