Humboldt County Memorial Hospital Foundation

“Committed to Care, Compassion to Serve”

The Humboldt County Memorial Hospital Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 tax deductible corporation, formed in 1990 by a group of caring citizens. It was organized and is operated exclusively for charitable and educational purposes for the residents of Humboldt County. The Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors who oversees the management of all contributions.

It graciously accepts funds and property of every kind and nature through purchase, conveyance, lease, gift, grant, bequest or otherwise.

Gifts donated through the Foundation, in support of HCMH, are used to help replace aging equipment and facilities with state of the art medical technology, and to subsidize important health care programs and services for Humboldt County.

Founder’s Event (January 20, 2024)

Join us for one of the community’s most anticipated annual events and our biggest fundraising event of the year! This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a wonderful meal and excellent entertainment while supporting the health and well-being of the residents of Humboldt County.

5K Color Run

The Humboldt 5K Color Run/Walk is a five-kilometer, untimed event. At each kilometer mark, Color Runners are doused from head to toe in a different colored powder. Participants wear white at the starting line and finish the race plastered in color. Once the race is over, the fun continues with music, photo ops, activity booths, vendors, and more massive color throws, which create millions of vivid color combinations. All proceeds from this event go to support mental health and suicide awareness through actions that support, educate and empower patients, students and families of Humboldt County. This event is in partnership with the Humboldt County Memorial Hospital, Humboldt Schools, Humboldt Law Enforcement and Humboldt County Sherrif Office.

Women’s Health Night Out

This evening event provides an opportunity to educate the women of Humboldt County, but it a fun way. It also showcases our new health care providers and gives the women a chance to learn what services and specialties are provided right here in Humboldt. Food, Fun, Friendship & Wine!
