The Queen is guided by a mission to serve all, especially those who are poor and vulnerable.

From the beginning, Queen of the Valley Medical Center has been committed to extending care into the community to ensure equitable access to medical care, dental care, health education and other critical resources. The hospital collaborates with nonprofit organizations, local businesses and churches to provide outreach to the underserved.
Our strong commitment to innovation has helped keep us at the forefront of medicine for over 65 years. Queen of the Valley was the first medical facility in Napa County to purchase a linear accelerator and the first to offer magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI), lithotripsy, stereotactic breast biopsy and robotic surgery with the da Vinci Surgical System.
Most new construction and equipment purchases for the hospital are made possible by generous donations to the Queen of the Valley Foundation. From major gifts and planned giving to endowments and special events, like the Women for Wellness luncheon, the Foundation receives generous and enthusiastic community support.
It's clear that Napa Valley residents are eager to participate in building a healthy tomorrow for themselves, their families and their community.
