Barton Health Foundation The Barton Health Foundation is committed to improving the health of those in the South Lake Tahoe

The Barton Health Foundation was founded in 1990 to raise funds for Barton Health. Since that time we have given more than $20 million to support the hospital and the services it provides to the South Lake Tahoe community. In addition to the direct support that we have given to the hospital the Foundation maintains multiple endowment accounts totaling more than $10 million to ensure for the future health of our community. Past projects and services that the Foundation has funded at Barton Health include:
• Healing Design and Art within the hospital
• Helipad
• The Family Birthing Center
• Patient Care & the remodel of the Barton Community Clinic
• Ledbetter Garden and Play Area
• Bereavement Camp for area youth
• Hospice training, equipment, and programs
• 30 new Stryker wheelchairs within the hospital
• Robert Maloff Center, housing Barton Orthopedics and Wellness
• and much more…

Funded by the Barton Health Foundation, Barton Health Foundation Community Grants were developed to provide funding to programs and organizations that benefit those communities that are underserved and/or can have the greatest impact on the health of our community at large. Over the past decade, the Barton Health Foundation has put over 1 million dollars into the community via partner non-profit programs and services. The Barton Health Foundation is governed by the Barton Board of Trustees representing a diverse mix of ages and expertise, all with the goal of providing for the current and future health of our community.

Over the past year, the Barton Health Foundation has been proud to support community health in meaningful ways.

Our efforts have included providing 'Barton Baby' beanies to new families, providing warmth and comfort for the youngest members of our community. Additionally, we have contributed valuable resources for our play therapy services, helping children heal and thrive through innovative therapeutic approaches. We've also invested in staff education for Barton’s Home Health services, ensuring caregivers are equipped with the latest knowledge and skills to deliver compassionate, high-quality care.

Through these initiatives, the Barton Health Foundation remains committed to strengthening the health and well-being of those we serve — and none of this would be possible without the generosity and support of donors like you. Thank you for helping us make a lasting difference in the lives of patients, families, and caregivers throughout our community.

Our Story

The Barton Foundation was founded in 1990 to raise funds for Barton Health. Since that time we have given more than $20 million to support the hospital and the services it provides to the South Lake Tahoe community. In addition to the direct support that we have given to the hospital the Foundation maintains multiple endowment accounts totaling more than $8 million to ensure for the future health of our community. Past projects and services that the Foundation has funded at Barton Health include: • Healing Design and Art within the hospital • Helipad • The Olson Family Playroom • Computer monitors and equipment in patient areas of the hospital • The Family Birthing Center • Patient Care & the remodel of the Barton Community Clinic • Ledbetter Garden and Play Area • Bereavement Camp for area youth • Hospice training, equipment, and programs • Free Mammograms for those who can’t afford them • and much more… Recently, the Foundation and the hospital have turned our sights on supporting the total health of the South Lake Tahoe community. Barton Health has formed a Community Health Advisory Committee whose focus is to identify and advise the Barton Board of Directors regarding unmet health needs within our community. This group of 20 locals representing education, fire, police, public utilities, the growing Latino population, public health, the medical community and both the Nevada and California communities come to a consensus on the most pressing health needs and then recommended area groups to receive the Barton Health Grants. Funded by the Barton Foundation, Barton Health Grants were developed to provide funding to programs and organizations that benefit those communities that are underserved and/or can have the greatest impact on the health of our community at large. Each year the Barton Foundation gives $50,000 to support this program. In addition, the Barton Foundation hosts a Philanthropy Day Luncheon which celebrates philanthropy in our community, an annual Gala that raises funds for a board-designated program, an annual golf tournament, and Pink Heavenly, an event that raises funds for Barton Health’s Cancer Support Services. The Barton Foundation is governed by the Barton Board of Trustees representing a diverse mix of ages and expertise, all with the goal of providing for the current and future health of our community.
