Today, in the central Shenandoah Valley region we are blessed. Those who came before us made sure that all of the natural beauty was preserved and nearly unchanged. They also set into motion cultural, educational, and health initiatives that help define what it means to be local. Now it’s our turn. We believe there is no cause more deserving of our full faith, hope, and effort than our community. Giving to the RMH Foundation will help save lives and fuel our ability to access local, extraordinary care, far into the future.

The RMH Foundation exists solely to support Sentara RMH Medical Center and enhance its mission to improve health and promote wellbeing. Sentara RMH has been able to significantly improve the care patients receive because of gifts from our caring and generous community. One hundred percent of donations directly benefit patients and our community through the purchase of new equipment and support of compassionate programs.

Your generous support provides quality, cost-effective healthcare for Harrisonburg, Rockingham County and surrounding communities.

Mr. William Glodomore Leake made a gift through his estate in 1908 leading to the opening of Sentara RMH in 1912. He had a generous philanthropic spirit and a desire to help secure the best in healthcare for our local community. Through his generosity, Mr. Leake set a standard of excellence that has been perpetuated by each and every person, business, and civic organization that so generously supports Sentara RMH.
