Who We Are

For over 30 years, San Mateo County Health Foundation (SMCHF) has provided healthcare access for citizens of San Mateo County. SMCHF exists to promote and champion the health and well-being of all residents of our community, regardless of ability to pay, primarily through supporting excellence and innovation in the County’s hospital and clinic system.

What's Happening at SMCHF

On October 6, 2023, supporters of the San Mateo County Health Foundation gathered together at the Show Up for Breast Cancer Gala at the historic CAROLANDS Chateau in Hillsborough to raise funds for San Mateo County’s only public hospital. With the help of our community and funders, we raised almost $1.2 Million for San Mateo Medical Center’s mammography program. 

 

SMCHF’s goal is to raise $1.7 Million to support the recent 3D technology upgrade for two mammography machines at San Mateo Medical Center. These funds will also be used to purchase a fully equipped mobile mammography van to service patients who cannot easily get to the hospital for their routine tests – farmworkers living on the coast, San Mateo County’s unhoused population, and patients at our outlying clinics. We are $600,000 short, but you can still help us reach our goal – please consider donating HERE.

Here is the universal code – just in case you need this. It does say you should paste this universal code once for the inline code to work. Apparently you’re supposed to “paste this code before on your site to show all your active forms.”
