henry mayo gala[KHTS] – Hundreds of people celebrated Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital’s 40th Anniversary Saturday night with a Gala, held at the Hyatt Regency Valencia.

“We’re celebrating 40 years of unwavering commitment to our community here in Santa Clarita and the communities unwavering commitment back to us,” said Laura Chesler, the Annual Giving and Event Coordinator for Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital. “We’re growing every year and we’re adding more and more services and excellent health care for the valley every year. We wanted to give a little back to the community and let them know how much we appreciate their support.”

The event was invite only and attendees included “donors, community members, dignitaries from all the political arenas, former patients and volunteers, we have everybody,” said Chesler.

“Healthcare access, efficient delivery of timely service and the need to educate, train and develop teams of professionals is a constant challenge,” said Roger Seaver, president and CEO of Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital. “At Henry Mayo, we are committed to be great and what matters most is the patients we serve.”

“We are so proud of (Seaver) for doing the fantastic job he’s done,” said Santa Clarita Mayor Marsha McLean. “(Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital) is the only hospital for this entire area and we just appreciate, as a city, so much what (Seaver has) done in order to make our hospital grow and to be able to have the services our community needs.”

Awards were given to Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital by Assemblyman Scott Wilk, Senator Sharon Runner, Congressman Steve Knight and Supervisor Michael Antonovich’s Senior Deputy, Rosalind Wayman.

wilkWilk presented Seaver with an official Assembly Resolution for 40 years of “stellar service” at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital.

“With so many hospitals going under, we are so blessed to have a non-profit community hospital in our town and we need to be proud of that every day,” said Wilk.
Runner presented Seaver with a Senate Resolution saying “what a great job Henry Mayo has done over the years.”

Knight presented to Seaver a Recognition Certificate from Congress and a flag that flew over the U.S. Capitol two weeks ago.

Wayman presented a scroll on behalf of Antonovich, expressing his appreciation for everything that Seaver has done for the community.

The Newhall family also received an outstanding contribution to healthcare award.

When Henry Mayo first opened in 1975, it had 100 beds. Today, the hospital has more than 238 beds and has plans to construct a brand new six-story patient tower.

“With the hospital celebrating its 40th Anniversary, we are pleased that a capital campaign initiative for the new patient tower will coincide with this meaningful date,” said Diana Vose, President of the Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital Foundation.

The tower will serve as the hospital’s permanent helipad with direct access to the Emergency Department and also provide an additional 118 beds for the care of patients. All of the rooms will be private.

Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, a not-for-profit community hospital and trauma center, currently includes emergency services, intensive care, maternity, breast imaging, surgery, nursing, wound care, stroke behavioral health, and acute rehabilitation, as well as cancer, cardiology, imaging, lab, digestive, respiratory services and physical and occupational therapies.

  2. I’ve lived here 10 yrs longer. 50 yrs same house near friendly valley. I’ve waited for more than 40 yrs for a satellite emergency facility on the south east side of this valley. It amazes me that our pets have a better chance of surviving an emergency than we do. It takes longer and longer to traverse this valley and time is a killer to a person in an emergency situation!
