Saturday Morning Breakfast in Mac is grateful to recognize Willamette Valley Medical Center (WVMC) for sponsoring a Saturday breakfast in our community. Their support helps ensure that our neighbors have access to a hot, nutritious meal served with care and connection!
What Does WVMC Do?
Located in McMinnville, Willamette Valley Medical Center is a full-service acute care hospital that has served Yamhill County for over a century. WVMC provides essential medical services close to home and is guided by a mission of making communities healthier. Beyond patient care, the medical center actively invests in the well-being of the region through community partnerships, health education, sponsorships, volunteerism, and initiatives that address social determinants of health such as food insecurity and access to care.
A Model for Community Health
Their commitment aligns naturally with the mission of Saturday Morning Breakfast in Mac, which brings people together every Saturday morning to serve and be served—offering nourishing food, meaningful connection, and pathways to stable resources for individuals and families in McMinnville. Food security and community health are deeply connected, and partnerships like this help strengthen the foundation of wellness across our community.
By sponsoring a Saturday, Willamette Valley Medical Center demonstrates that caring for community health extends beyond hospital walls. Their support helps create a welcoming space where neighbors can gather, feel seen, and start their weekend with nourishment and hope. We are thankful for WVMC’s continued investment in a healthier, more connected McMinnville.
