The USC Verdugo Hills Women’s Council was founded after VHH opened its doors in 1972. Since that time this dedicated group of women have raised in excess of $3 million to fund hospital programs, services and equipment.

Recently, at the hospital board meeting, the Women’s Council presented a check for $20,000 to fund the hospital IR/Cardiac Lab. These state-of-the art interventional radiology and cardiac catheterization laboratories offer the best-in-kind cardiology care in the community.

In recent years, the Women’s Council supported the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, which was dedicated in 2021. The NICU has had a very positive effect in the community. The census of incoming maternity patients has dramatically increased.

The WC plans to continue fundraising and will be dedicating future efforts to supporting nursing education.
