La Teresa Music was the face of VGH Foundation, giving it solid ground, structure, and the sustainability that we enjoy today. $1.5 million has been raised through the Tree of Lights providing access to vital equipment and funds to support programs of all VGH departments.
La Teresa Music's vision of Foundation began early, she was driven for success and success followed. As Foundation director she led numerous million-dollar capital campaigns, over 7.5 million for hospital construction and remodels creating the sustainability of VGH and VGH Foundation benefiting the future of access to healthcare in our community. It is with gratitude and honor that we name La Teresa Music with the VGH Founders Class.
